Being Given

Jesus is given to the world.
He was chosen, blessed, and broken to be given.
Jesus' life and death were a life and death for others.
The Beloved Son of God, chosen from all eternity, was broken on the cross
so that this one life could multiply
and become food for people
of all places and all times.

As God's beloved children, we have to believe
that our little lives,
when lived as God's chosen and blessed children,
are broken to be given to others.
We too have to become bread for the world.
When we live our brokenness under the blessing,
our lives will continue to bear fruit from generation to generation.
That is the story of the saints -
they died, but they continue to be alive
in the hearts of those who live after them -
and it can be our story too.


Con cần phải biết cho đi như Giêsu, bằng không, con cũng sẽ bị trách móc như thành Capharnaum:

Còn ngươi, hỡi Capharnaum, chớ thì ngươi nhắc mình lên tận trời sao? Ngươi sẽ phải rơi xuống địa ngục, vì nếu các phép lạ diễn ra giữa ngươi mà xảy ra tại Sôđôma, thì thành ấy đã tồn tại cho đến ngày nay. (Mt 11,23)
