Resurrection has only one relationship

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Ordinary Season : 33rd Week : Saturday*

*Gospel : Lk 20:27-40*

*First Reading : Rv 11:4-12*

*Resurrection has only one relationship*

*1) Various types of relationships*

As we are living in this world, we have many types of relationship. Some of the examples are as follows 

Parents-Childern relationship

Husband -wife relationship

Master servant relationship

Friendship relationship

Family relationship

Work - colleague relationship

Blood relationship

Religion based relationship

Language based relationship

Culture based relationship

State based relationship

Worship based relationship

*2) Relationship in resurrected life*

The Gospel gives us some glimpses of this relationship

No marital relationship

No death in that life 

They are like angels 

They are the children of God 

From this we can conclude that there is only one type of relationship in heaven 

God the Father and we are His beloved children like little angels 

This is how we exist in the new Jerusalem

*3) What do we do that?*

We will be in the presence of God 

We will be praising unceasingly, at all times 

There is no sadness, tiredness, no pain and no loss 

Its a special feeling where we will exist for eternity 

Since all of us related to God, primarily we become the children of God and there is no other relationship

*4) Will I be worthy for this relationship?*

This is a very important question to reflect upon 

It is true that there is a resurrection and a new relationship with God

But  am I worthy for that relationship? 

How can I make myself worthy for such a relationship with God? 

What are the things which I should pay attention in this line?

*Think about it*

*God bless you and your family. Praying for you and your dear ones*
