Jesus describes “the kingdom of God” as a net thrown into the sea. And as expected, the net catches all kinds of fish that eventually need to be sorted out. But in the end all will be judged.
In today’s Gospel we’re given another image of the “kingdom of heaven.” Jesus speaks of a treasure buried in a field, but it is discovered by chance. This is Jesus’ way of saying that for those who believe, the gift of faith is far more valuable than any earthly or material treasure.
It’s probably not difficult to recall times in our life’s journey when we were “lost and wayward.” We really needed to be found again through God’s love and care for us. Then too, we may have been helpful to others when the Lord used us as his shepherd.
We may not always be conscious of God’s presence as our fears take over, but there is no doubt that God is always with us in all the situations that we face.
I came across a beautiful observation about dads and wanted to share it with you. “The warmest scarf a man can wear is the arm of his little boy or girl around his neck.” It is so true.
The bond of marriage is one of the most sacred bonds and contract any two people can make. The contract is God’s plan for marriage. A good preparation is needed for making that most serious contract.
We never walk alone as persons of faith. Jesus’ words remind us that what God asks of us, he promises the strength and fortitude to see it through.
