Psalm 34 ~ Psaumes 34
Hebrews 3.1-6 ~ Hébreux 3. 1- 6
John 7.1-13 ~ Jean 7.1-13
Jeremiah tells us there is one source of pride, the knowledge of God, the
knowledge that He is the source of all goodness, law and justice on earth. No
human riches, wisdom or strength is worth anything in comparison. Lent is of
course a time when we can think again about these fundamentals of our
existence. God should be the focal point in our personal lives giving us
principles that help us dealing with daily issues, family conflicts, difficult work
situations. But I guess it is also a message for us Christian citizens of our
respective countries. Efforts to build societies based on freedom, justice and
solidarity may be vain if we don't source our pride from the right place! Love
your neighbour as yourself... Give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar...
Food for thought for builders of Democracies!
La seule source de fierté qui vaille c'est celle de la connaissance du Dieu de
justice et de bonté. Elle seule nous donne suffisamment de discernement
pour pouvoir affronter les soucis de notre vie quotidienne. Elle nous aide
aussi dans nos vies de citoyens car les principes de justice, de droit et de
charité sont les fondements indispensables de la démocratie!
