“After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon.
Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever,
and they interceded with him about her.
He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her.
She got up immediately and waited on them.
At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him.
He laid his hands on each of them and cured them.
And demons also came out from many, shouting, “You are the Son of God.”
But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak
because they knew that he was the Christ.
At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place.
The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him,
they tried to prevent him from leaving them.
But he said to them, “To the other towns also
I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God,
because for this purpose I have been sent.”
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.”
Jesus teaches us one of His main purposes in the Gospel today: “I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent.” He rebukes another demon for saying who He is: “You are the Son of God”. What purpose have you been sent? Ask God today what He created you for or what He wants you to become? Listen in silence for God speaks to us in a still small voice. Once you have found your purpose give glory to God in all that you do.
Today’s challenge: live with a purpose
Become a saint!
