Thursday of the 5th week of Eastertide
First reading – Acts 15:7-21
“Remember, we believe that we are saved in the same way as they are: through the grace of the Lord Jesus”. Each one of us is saved by the grace of Lord Jesus. This is what unites us all. There is no distinction with the other because he and me are saved by the Grace of God. The attitude that we are special always creates a distinction of us from the others. This is not good. Because all are saved by the Grace of God. From the attitude of being special, come the attitude to impose on others the way you are. St. Peter says, “It would only provoke God’s anger” to impose burden on others so that others become like you. This is also something we do often. We want that others become like us or do things as we want. The Apostles are recognizing this as a burden to those who want to turn to God. We should help in all way possible those who want to come to God. Let’s reflect: Am I creating burden to those who want to turn to God?
