Bring to Jesus presence

"..some men brought on a stretcher a man who was paralyzed;
they were trying to bring him in and set him in his presence. 
But not finding a way to bring him in because of the crowd,
they went up on the roof
and lowered him on the stretcher through the tiles
into the middle in front of Jesus. 
When Jesus saw their faith, he said,
"As for you, your sins are forgiven." (Luke 5:17-26)

What strikes about the Gospel passage today is the willingness and dedication of the people who help the paralyzed man attain forgiveness (ultimately, to be physically healed) for his sins. Yes Jesus is showing us what he was going to accomplish and what lord is assigning us to do as a good Steward.

Jesus prays " “I did not lose a single one of those whom you gave me.” (John 18:9)& they have believed that you sent me. I am asking on their behalf; I am not asking on behalf of the world, but on behalf of those whom you gave me, because they are yours. (John17:8-9)As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world(John 17:18)

Yes Jesus took our sins in the cross and freed us from our sins ,through unconditional love and forgiveness. He gained all our souls to lord. We just have to surrender and believe in His Name "Jesus" the only name for salvation."Holy Father, protect them in your name that you have given me, so that they may be one, as we are one"(John17:11)

Jesus also prays
"As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world"(John 17:18)
Yes we have the Stewardship of our brothers soul. We have to be faithful steward of all goodness given to us by grace of God. We have to use them for gaining the ones  assigned to us by Lord to bring to Jesus presence. Our good gifts and blessings are not gained by us but bestowed by the grace of Lord. The gift of prayer,the gift of intercession,the gift of word of God,the blessings of wealth, blessings of good health, blessings of time, even blessings to suffer..yes we have to be faithful steward of all these God has given us..we must use all these to bring the ones God asks us,to Jesus presence,thus reducing their load of sins and thus sufferings..this makes heaven happy and also our souls secure by glorifying Lord by our mission.

This stewardship will be as simple as reciting a small prayer for a soul (living or passed away) that lord prompts us..this will bring relief to the soul.

 Now we are in light and we are able to accomplish what lord asks us to do and thus glorify him..but a time is soon coming,when we won't be able to do anything..hence let us do when we can..

The force that drives us to accomplish it is God's love. Let us do it in love for our lord who by His sacrificial love freed us from our debts..

let us" make friends for yourselves by means of dishonest wealth so that when it is gone, they may welcome you into the eternal homes.“Whoever is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and whoever is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much. (luke16:9-10)


Let us pray
Dear Lord, we are stewards of the wealth you gave us. But we are dishonest to the blessings by not using it properly in your wish.we are proud,we are selfish or sometimes even distrusting you. Lord forgive us. .Please never take away the stewardship from us..give us wisdom in right time to use it as you wish to gain the souls to Jesus and thus reducing their debts.Fill us in your love and realization of  the great prize you paid for us to free us and that we are our Fathers own children. Thank you Jesus for unraveling your messages to us through your living word. Let it pierce our inner thoughts and purify us for you in fire of your love.
Give us grace to pray as you prayed.."I glorified you on earth by finishing the work that you gave me to do. So now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had in your presence before the world existed."(John 17:4-5)

Action: Pray one "our father.."to the person God reminds to us today.

Amen
