SEEING YOUR LIFE THROUGH THE LENS OF THE GOSPELS
Matthew 4: 12-17
Matthew 4: 12-17
The arrest of John the Baptist was the catalyst for the start of the Public ministry of Jesus. Recall the events and experiences that brought about a change in your life, introducing a new phase of ministry, or work, or activity of some kind. In hindsight where do you see the guidance of the Spirit of God in the new direction you took.
The change in circumstances included a change in where he lived. How has your life taken a different turn when you moved residence?
This was a time when Jesus developed a deeper understanding of his mission in life. Each human person shares the same mission in life; to love god and neighbour. The concrete form this takes is shaped by the free choices we make in the circumstances of our lives. How has your understanding of your mission and purpose in life developed through the years?
