The way of Christ

Fr. Louis in his sermon during the Friday mass on 5 April prodded the congregation with the following question:

How would you react when we are challenged or troubles come your way? Most of the time we either fight or we run away.

He explained that in Jn 7:1-2,10, 25-30, even though the “Jews were out to kill him”, Jesus went about preaching freely.

Jesus was calm and not anxious because he had confidence in his Father that nothing will happen to him without his Father’s approval “his time had not yet come”. He did not give in to fear. Jesus continued his ministry with love. He gave himself freely because He loved them.

So do we react in fear and withdraw or do we choose the way of Christ?
