(First week of Lent Wednesday Jonah 3/1-10; Lk 11/29-32)
Today's readings opens for us People speaking God's Word and people listening in honest heart. We hear that God saw all the efforts they made to turn away from their evil ways and he relented. Wonderfully, the King and the people alike repented and saught for the way of the Lord. Same announcement of the Word of God was spoken in Israel also, through the prophets and later through Jesus. Not all opened themselves to the Promise of Salvation. One important reason that raised obstacles for an honest listening and faithful response was that they were misguided by false prophets who spoke of prosperity and authenticity in the name of Yahwey.
How much is the effort we make to turn away from evil ways?
Do we identify the false prophets who give us logical reasons to question the messages of God.
