We have seen incredible things today.

GOSPEL THOUGHTS

*Advent Season : 2nd Week : Monday*

*Gospel : Lk 5:17-26*

*First Reading : Is 35:1-10*

*We have seen incredible things today.*

*1) People saw incredible things*

The Gospel of the day speaks about the healing of the paralytic by Jesus 

The whole incident takes a different sequence in healing the paralytic. 

When people wanted to bring  the paralytic to Jesus, they could not. Because of there was a big crowd. 

Finally the opened the roof and lowered the patient, whom Jesus healed, because of the faith of those people 

In this context people said, today we have seen incredible things 

*2) Pharisees and the Scribes*

These didn't see any incredible things that day 

But they saw a person who was blaspheming, because He forgave the sins of the paralytic

Their wrong conception about Jesus finally led them not to see any incredible things 

*3) Incredible things in my Life*

Every day and every moment, lots of incredible things happen in our life. 

But the question is, am I able to see these incredible things in my life 

To see incredible things in my life and around me, I need to have faith in God and should have a eye which are able to recognize the incredible things 

*4) Incredible things in my life*

Following are some examples

I am able to see

I am able to hear 

I am able to speak, sing, 

I am able to love 

I am able to think what is right 

I am able to walk 

I am able to smile 

I am able to pray 

All those who see above things as incredible things,will consider them as incredible things in life 

What are the incredible things in my life?

What are the incredible things so far I have seen??

*Think about it*

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