Luke 9: 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, ‘Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[b]?’
Jesus and his disciples are heading back to Jerusalem after the transfiguration. Some messengers go into a Samaritan village to tell them to get ready for Jesus, but they don't welcome him. The disciples want revenge.
People are attacking the Pope during his visit to America. This reminds me of the response of the disciples although they clearly had a better case than the Pope haters do. Jesus responded by rebuking the disciples. Then he left. I feel like he would rebuke the Pope haters too. Hate just isn't his way.
Prayer: I am so blessed to serve the God of truth and love. I want to promote a positive regard among Your people, especially all who identify as Christians. Help Your servants to see each other through eyes of love, not judgment.
Amen
