Have you been called a liar? It’s not very pleasant to hear. God wouldn’t like it if we called Him a liar especially when God is the fullness of truth. If we claim that we are without sin, the Truth is not within us; if we do so we are calling God a liar. 

Oftentimes, we find ourselves encountering the judgment of man; we forget that we have received the mercy of God. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, we receive the mercy of God, not once but several times. The forgiveness of God gives us the courage to forgive ourselves. This same courage allows us to forgive others.

06.33 - Extending the Mercy of God

• 1 John 1:8 and 1:10 - If we claim to be without sin, we are calling God a liar

Loneliness is the scourge of today’s society; many of us suffer from this loneliness. Jesus felt alone and deprived of the presence of God when He was dying on the Cross. If sin comes into our life, we will not feel the presence of God and we will feel alone. Joseph of the Old Testament was sold to slavery, falsely accused, and imprisoned for what seemed like an eternity. He was alone, misunderstood, accused, and reviled; how did he survive alone?

Mother Mary’s fiat would also mean that she would probably have to walk her path alone. Daniel was thrown into a pit of hungry lions. Joseph, Mary, and Daniel were able to remain alone in peace and undisturbed because they chose to be alone with God. They knew that God was with them. The key to handling loneliness is to walk with God and to know that He is with us in the loneliness.

God calls us, He anoints us, prepares us, and sends us. The call of God is irrevocable and the anointing of God is a grace given to people - a supernatural grace to do supernatural things in supernatural ways. This anointing is given to all Christians and it should move us to the will of God and the ways of God. Jesus is the best example of this grace. Very often, after we drive toward Him, we start driving backward.

Disobedience to the will of God comes into our lives; when this happens, satan is able to attack. The smallest of sins will give way for satan to come in. We must only use the things of this world for the sole purpose of answering God’s call and doing God’s will. He anoints you to do His will and the smallest sin can taint it. We must have a singular purpose, a purpose of glorifying the Lord in all that we do. Be faithful to God’s call; guard your anointing.

01.35 - Driving Backwards

03.04 - King Saul’s Path

As humans, we avoid those who are unpleasant and cause us distress but, Jesus asks us to love those who hate us, bless those who curse us and pray for those who persecute us. Jesus also loved all those who persecuted Him, especially Judas who betrayed Him with a kiss. So, how could the all-knowing Jesus handle this?

Jesus opened His heart to Judas, dined with Him, and loved Him despite knowing that Judas would betray Him with a kiss. If Jesus could do this, then we are non-exempt from living the Scripture the way He did. We too have to learn to “dine with Judas.” 

God has prepared a “Judas” in all our lives and our lives will be blessed because of this. We are called to be like our Heavenly Father when this “Judas” comes into our lives.

Episode Breakdown:

03.37 - Dining with Judas

06.22 - The Judas in Our Life

08.56 - Live the Will of the Father

10.19 - Called to Divine Love

12.22 - Seeking God’s Help

Bible Reference:

• Mathew 5 - “Love those who hate you…”

God sends the prophet Samuel to the house of Jesse to find a person to become the King of Israel. Interestingly, none of the older sons of Jesse, who were strong and prominent were chosen; David who was not even worthy in the eyes of his father became worthy in the eyes of God.

God's choice is different from that of the whole. In the Bible, we see many such examples: His disciples who were to follow Him, the prophets who were chosen to lead God’s people… They might not be the best person for the job but God calls them. God chooses those who desire Him above everything else, those who are willing to give up everything to do the will of God.

Are you God’s choice?

01.48 - Choosing David

04.55 - Criteria of God’s Choice

07.12 - God Looks at the Heart

09.52 - Preparation for Grace

Bible Reference:

The more we have, the bigger we become! We are all in a rat race to acquire more and more; we never have enough. We are part of a world of acquisition; amidst this, there are people who give. Those who give unconditionally with a sense for others’ needs. 

There are many types of givers - ones who want to be known as generous, ones who give only to the deserving, ones who give conditionally… God loves a good “giver”. He asks us to share what we have with those who need it and seek it, wholeheartedly. In the Bible, we are told: “Do not test the Lord”. On the giving tithes, the Lord asks us to test Him.

Have you noticed, if you test the Lord with your giving, you will see yourself being blessed by the Lord with His giving? Dr. Zubin Paul Jacob talks about testing the Lord by giving Him everything He has given us. Give Him all that you have and receive all that He has to give you; He gives generously.

Samson, a Nazrite, was extremely strong and his strength came from God; the source of his strength was unique - the length of his hair. Once his hair was cut, he lost his strength and was captured by the Philistines. As his hair grew in captivity, he regained strength and was able to defeat the Philistines in his death. Similar to Samson, we too can find immense strength.

Dr. Zubin Paul Jacob recalls an incident from his life when he discovered his “Samson’s hair”. He was told that with each Rosary he prayed, his strength would increase. There is great power when Mother Mary intercedes on our behalf. This is the prayer handed down by God through St. Dominic, given to the church as a gift.

The longer Samason’s hair, the greater his power; similarly, the more Rosaries prayed, the greater Mother Mary’s intercession and power in our lives.

00:42 - Who is Samson?

05:50 - Power of the Rosary

Rejection is a part of our lives and we face this rejection at various stages of our lives; it is part of existence in this world. Rejection from our parents, our families, our peers, and all those around us right from the moment of conception. And so, we do all that is needed to avoid rejection in our lives.

We want to be want to accepted by everyone at all times; because of this need, we start changing ourselves, losing our uniqueness, being unable to accept our individuality, and trying to be what we are not. Dr. Zubin Paul Jacob talks about the fear of rejection that originated in the Garden of Eden.

Isn’t it time to embrace our uniqueness? Isn’t it time to accept the unique way in which we are created? God will never reject us; He embraces us through everything - our failings, our sins, and all our situations.

02.07 - The Reality of Rejection
