Brothers in Christ Jesus, let us move on to the Gospel. Today's Gospel also has the great things that inspire us as long this day. That is about the foundation of your mission. What we are going to preach, teach, show and bring to those we meet today? If you bring the Good News from Christ, I am sure that you will bear good fruits, but on the contrary, if you bring your problem from the community, certainly you are in the wrong way.
It means that you are preaching bad news, if you do not place Christ as the foundation and center of your apostolate. And as Jesus says, those who are preaching without the strong backup (the Father) it means your mission is like a man who built his house on the ground without foundation. The flood burst against it, and the house felt at once, and what a terrible disaster that was. Â
Foundation that highlights in the epilog this passage, encourage us in doing our mission. It is really becomes our petrol as long this day. Jesus shows these two kinds of foundations, just to remind us that, our live is circle by two different things that is: light or dark, black or white, life or dead, and so on. In front of these two things, we have to be carefully and smart to make a decision. In our mission, Christ absolutely becomes the cornerstone or foundation for us. We go anywhere and spread throughout the world; we never apart from Him. So, the question is why we have to place Christ as the foundation of our mission?
There are so many answers that I could capture in your mind from this tribune, but I am not sure that you committed with the question. The only simple answer is, because Jesus Himself has begun this mission. We just try to keep and living it till now. In the other hand, we could say foundation (that is Jesus) pushes us to produce something new, that is make him known as He already known us. And, the last, may you become the new Gospel for those you meet at your apostolate places. Your testimony, must be the Fifth Gospel.
