Devocionales de Alfonso Gomez Plaza: CHRISTIAN DEVOTIONAL

WATCH WHAT YOU DO

I have seen more abandonment of Christianity for religiosity than for atheism.

THE human being is difficult by nature and therefore, he will always seek to be right. It is not necessary to be of a special caste, all human beings regardless of their socio-cultural condition, will seek domination over others. Unfortunately the church is not exempt from living this evil, no matter the denomination, whether they are Catholic, Orthodox or Protestant; and one of the ways to pretend to dominate is through religiosity. And, when we speak of religiosity we are suggesting a human system that runs parallel to God's desires and to carry out his will, but that in reality has nothing to do with the values of the Kingdom of God. This religious system pretends to be demanding even with God himself, putting his laws and precepts before divine mandates. This was the great sin or error of the Jewish people, which, pretending to be better than God himself, demanded thousands of rituals, acts and exclusive paraphernalia without giving the rest of the nations the opportunity to approach God in clear breach of the following mandate: and Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. But how will they come to light it if we make it exclusive to a segment of human beings?

"And he said to them in his doctrine: Beware of scribes, who like to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the squares,"

Mark 12. 38

I am not saying that I am free from religiosity, but when I am aware that I am being religious, I repent and try to correct that action. Being religious involves endless acts and sayings that tie us even more to his system. For example, criticize human beings, who and because of their living conditions lead them to live a different style from ours. Judging people because according to our criteria they do not live the same lifestyle as ours. Condemn the other denominations as heretics and without even trying to inquire into their doctrines and dogmas. Consider that we have the exclusivity of salvation as a church or that our teaching system is the only one that serves without valuing that of others.

“And the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first seats in the dinners; who devour widows' houses, and for pretext make long prayers. These will receive further condemnation."

Mark 12. 39-40

Today we are the disciples who are listening to this teaching. Today we are responsible for eliminating religiosity from our lives. Jesus of Nazareth was highly condemned for attacking the religiosity of the Scribes, Pharisees, and Sadducees. Jesus Christ left us as an example of how to demonstrate God's love to all humanity without being religious, without imposing heavy burdens, bringing freedom to all human beings. That is why he declared: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls; For my yoke it is easy, and my burden light.

God bless you.
