WORD 2day: Wednesday, 33rd week in Ordinary time
November 20, 2024 - Revelation 4:1-11; Luke 19:11-28
The Word takes us to two courts today - the court in the vision and the court in the story; the court of majesty and that of justice. The courts refer to a King we are preparing to celebrate coming Sunday.
The King is the king of majesty who deserves all our praise; we eternally belong to his court and our destiny is to reach that court by our holiness and surrender.
The King is the king of mercy who is generous in granting us favours; giving us all that we need and even more than we need to make our existence meaningful here and now that we may work our way to that court of reward.
The King is the king of Justice who looks at the effort of each of his subjects and rewards them accordingly; expecting from us not a fixed or an exaggerated result but a result proportionate to the gifts the Lord had endowed on us - the court of reckoning.
