"What must I do to be saved?"... that must have been a very familiar question those days! We hear that addressed to Jesus by the rich young man and in a little different words by the disciples. Later, to the disciples it is addressed quite a few times as recorded in the Acts. After Christ has been raised, the question infact is redundant! For Jesus says, I shall send you the Holy Spirit and the Spirit shall enlighten you on everything. Today, we live as people of the light, for whom everything should be clear as things in a daylight. Lack of sense of sin, compromised vision of righteousness and a careless attitude of judgement, is what we witness today in the world, sometimes sadly within each of us! Might be, that our values, priorities and choices blur the light that the Spirit wishes to shed. Let us submit ourselves to the Spirit and pray, 'Let your Spirit guide me O Lord'!
