Have we been saved?
Liturgical reflection:
Catholics and many of their Protestant brothers and sisters pray with and study the life of Jesus Christ. And sometimes we have a tendency to relax our love for Him, as we believe that if we believe that Jesus is who he proclaimed to be, that we will be 'saved' and guaranteed a spot in heaven. Maybe our belief in Jesus might make us feel somehow comfortably 'saved.'
But Jesus suggests a true belief in Him, a divine man who is the world's true disrupter, is much more than proclaiming oneself 'saved.' No, we cannot just say 'Lord, Lord,' and expect entrance into Heaven. We actually have to do His will, 'the will of the Father.'
A kingdom of heaven on earth not only includes a prayer-filled, dynamic, intimate relationship with God, but requires action.
And where should our actions focus? Jesus gives us the answer:
To be 'Blessed' in this life, to be 'happy,' all we need to do is His will:
