TOUCHED BY JESUS
Luke 5: 1-11

One of my friends in Philippine always talks to me about the Jeepney. He said that he likes to use Jeepney because he wants to be touched by the other people, especially by the girl. He was joking to me but I think it is true. As a man, he surely wants to touch and to be touched by the girl.

In the Gospel, we see how Peter touched by Jesus. He was almost not in hoping to get fish. One night they got nothing. But in that morning, Jesus asked him to low the net. For sure that by the obedience he put the net. What will happen? Peter was very happy. Finally, they get a lot of fish. Abundance in quantity.

Peter is not only touched but also changed by Jesus. His mentality is really changed. From the despair to the hope. From sadness to joy. Peter is able to let himself guide by Jesus. Jesus, in fact, able to transform us in His way. That is what Peter did.

So, touched by Jesus means not only physically touching but also affect on the mentality. Peter was happy getting a lot of fish but he will get a lot of joyful moment with Jesus.

When am I touched spiritually by Jesus?

KNOWN BY DEMON
Luke 4: 38-44


If we do the best, even the bad man will know us. All the people want to know who is the actor of this good things. On the contrary, if we do the horrible thing, many people will ridicule us.

In the Gospel who demon knows Jesus. "You are the Son of God," said Demon. The Demon said this after seeing Jesus heal the sick people. Jesus had dawned the good thing so that even the Demon knew it very well.

Imagine when we do good things, many people come to give us support.

The mission of Jesus in the world is to bring good news to all people. One of this good news is healing the sick people. Here, sick means both physic and spiritual. Jesus today heal both sides of the sick people.

This mission comes from His Father. That’s why Jesus doesn’t stop in one place but continue to bring good news to the other places. Of course, many people to do it again and again but Jesus cannot do it. He must go to the others and important also to go to the desert place where He can pray.

The healing needs the new spirit from the Father. This spirit can come from the spiritual experience for example in the prayer. That’s why Jesus after healing go to pray.

Do we want to heal by Jesus?

ADMIRE ABOUT JESUS
Luke 4: 31-37

I never live with Jesus but I know him through pictures, photo, paintings, etc. I always admire about Him when I see the pictures about Him. When I arrived in Italy in 2013, I always admired the art of Italy. There, we can see how to admire the work of human through the arts. In this arts, there are many pictures and paintings about Jesus with their things that make the visitors feel admire.

The today’s Gospel talks about the teaching of Jesus in Capernaum. The audience was astonished by it because Jesus teaches them not like the leaders of Jews who talk about the religious tradition. Jesus teaches them with authority and I think with simple words so that the people can understand it. The authority of Jesus makes the Satan goes out from the man in Synagogue.  It means that Jesus is really powerful. Even the people were astonished about this action of Jesus with his authority.

Jesus shows us his mission include to pull out the Satan. When are we admire about Jesus or his teaching? What kind of Satan that stays in yourself or in myself? Do we want to let Jesus comes to bring out our Satan?

Jesus, help us to admire your teaching.
