Today’s reading challenges us to turn away from the world’s expectations and follow God’s expectations by obeying His will rather than succumbing to human impulses.
The Apostles exemplified remarkable courage with their unwavering commitment to Jesus’ teachings. They stood their ground, even when their safety and lives were at risk, demonstrating their steadfast faith.
Our challenge is to remain firm in our obedience to God and to proclaim the truth of His love and our redemption in Christ, even when the world may not want to hear it.
Let us pray for the same courage as the Apostles, keeping our eyes fixed on heaven.
