Look back...
Por: Pedro Paulo Costa
There is no one
who throws his hand
of the plough,
and look back
is suitable for
the kingdom of God,
said Jesus when
went along the way
with his disciples...
Jesus had
on your walk,
some conversations
with women,
who passed
for His life,
but,
one he cited
like a sign
warning,
who was Lot's wife,
Remember
of Lot's wife,
who was punished
when
Lot's family
was warned
by the angels,
not to look back
when they were
running away,
of Sodom and Gomorrah
because of the punishment,
and for wickedness,
of the inhabitants...
When Jesus
I was teaching
to his disciples,
what should they
do to serve you,
He said,
if someone
wants to come after me,
deny yourself,
take up your cross,
and follow me...
We then have
firstly,
IF ANYONE WANTS
follow me...
Secondly,
renounce yourself...
And thirdly,
TAKE UP YOUR CROSS
and follow me...
Let's see here,
that secondly
RESIGN
yourself
means to deny,
or leave
the old man
to become
a new creature,
abandon sin,
and no longer remember
of what it was before...
That's it
May the Lord
want us,
He invites us
to a decision,
to make everything new...
Throw your hand at the plough,
Follow Jesus
in new
don't remember anymore,
of what it was
and live in grace,
to have a life in life...
