Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel Wednesday 21 February 2018
Faith -unbelief!! In truth the great mistake of Jesus’ contemporaries is that they failed to recognise the miracles of redemption happening right in front of their eyes !! People did not recognise in Christ the redeeming God .The first chapter of John’s gospel puts it very beautifully :"11 He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.” John 1,11
The big question is that am I capable, after all do I want to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God, regard Him as my personal Redeemer. This the basic decision that determines our whole life ! In as much for me if Jesus born 2000 years ago is really the Son of God , Christ, Redeemer then I am a Christian !
To believe or not to believe ? This is the most important question of my life ! The people of Nineveh could believe in the word of Jonah , they repented and stayed alive! If I believe in Jesus Christ and I convert , I’ll remain alive , without Him I am a a falling down, drifting leaf !
With love ,

When the crowds were increasing, Jesus began to say, "This generation is an evil generation; it asks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be to this generation. The queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and see, something greater than Solomon is here! The people of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, because they repented at the proclamation of Jonah, and see, something greater than Jonah is here!"
Luke 11:29-32
