He sent messengers ahead of Him

“When the days for Jesus to be taken up were fulfilled, he resolutely determined to journey to Jerusalem, and he sent messengers ahead of him.” (LK 9: 51-52)

What a privilege it is to be His messengers. We are also invited and called to be with Him and to serve Him as His messengers. We can present His thoughts and actions in our homes and offices, among our friends and acquaintances. We can evangelize even our thoughts and correct them to be like His.

“The Son of Man came to serve and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Gospel Acclamation)
