We need to ask ourselves, do we do things to satisfy ourselves in the here and now or do we strive to do God's work for the hereafter? Today's readings: Gn 37:3-4, 12-13, 17-28; Mt 21: 33-43, 45-46. God hopes that we strive to plan for the Kingdom. Yet, we are human and finite and can not fathom that our earthly things are not needed in Heaven. We are human and do not want to part with those things we have worked hard to attain. It's quite the struggle.
In turn, Pilate struggled knowing very well that Jesus was innocent but wanting to win the popularity contest and please the masses. Every day we have to choose between right and wrong, between this and that. Dozens if not hundreds of times a day, we have to make decisions. And each decision leads to the next step of our life. We must not take any decision lightly and ask, "what would Jesus do?"
