Romans 4:20-25. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, he has come to his people – Luke 1:69-75. Luke 12:13-21.
He has visited and redeemed his people
There is a tension in most of us between worldly ambitions and the call of the Gospel. Zechariah’s anthem at the birth of his son, John the Baptist, was a tribute to God’s mercy for the salvation of God’s people as taught by the prophets.
Abraham’s strong faith in the promise of God was rewarded when he became the father of many nations. We too can be justified by faith as we also have access to the abundance of God’s grace and ‘rejoice in the hope of sharing in the glory of God’.
The gospel warns us of the dangers of compromise and covetousness of earthly rewards which will impede our faith journey. The man who planned to ‘eat, drink and be merry’ had his worldly ambitions come to nothing. Lord, let me be ‘rich towards God’ and accept his promise of life with him.
