Theme : “ The Church, Body of Jesus Christ ”
Text : Romans 9:24-26
24. Thus hath he called us, not only from among the Jews, but also from among the Gentiles, 25. as he says in Hosea: He who was not my people I will call my people. people, and beloved she who was not beloved; 26. and where they were told: You are not my people! they will be called sons of the living God.
Let's remember:
The Lord God has acquired a new people. The chosen people of God having chosen to deny him, despite their victories with this God, obtained with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm. God has extended his love to once pagan nations. He called those who lived in darkness to come to his wondrous light. Henceforth, salvation is universal; it is no longer the prerogative of the Jews. The peoples once called "the nations" have received God's approval: they have already entered the fold. Moreover, Jesus declared to this effect: “John 10: 16. I have yet other sheep, which are not of this fold; those, I must bring them; they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd”. Jesus widened the perimeter of the wife's life, he opened his heart to the woman who was abandoned; bringing it back to the family home: the universal Church. The rejected has become the beloved when she was not once. We have all become the people of God; the sons of the living God. He allowed us to become a royal race; a royal priesthood. Let's smile, God loves us. Excellent Saturday. Amen Alain Louz.-
