+ Jesus continues in the gospel passage with short thoughtful sayings and good solid advice: protect the holy gifts that God gives you free of charge: treat others exactly the same way that you want to be treated: expect that the passageway to eternal reward is narrow and not found by many, do all you can to be among the few who understand that and find the "door!"
Jesus is the "door," he is the way, he is the life and the light! The person of Jesus will comfort us, teach us, feed us and lead us – if we let him!
In the first reading we see what happens when God's people forget him, how death and destruction comes to them and their nations – but even in this God is faithful to his promise to David to protect his City and to raise from it a shoot – the King of Israel who would rule forever: Christ the Lord! It behooves us to remember that God is in charge of everything!
God uphold his city forever!
