Jesus In A Nutshell

Jesus said to his disciples: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. “Stop judging and you will not be judged. Stop condemning and you will not be condemned. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Give and gifts will be given to you; a good measure, packed together, shaken down, and overflowing, will be poured into your lap. For the measure with which you measure will in return be measured out to you.”  (Luke 6:36-38)

Today’s Gospel is Jesus-in-a-nutshell.  It’s our Lenten blueprint.  It’s up to us to follow his directions.

Seems simple enough, but in practice, not so easy.  Nevertheless, let’s give it a try this Lent.  The reward is great.
