Mincing No Words

In today's Gospel, Jesus speaks forcefully and woefully to those whose ears have been deaf to his message.  He minces no words: if you refuse to listen to him and reject him, you reject the Father as well. (cf. Lk 10:16).  He is being intense to emphasize his point.
In the first reading from Job, 38: 1, 12-21; 40:3-5,  God embarrasses the tunic off Job by reminding him that He is the one who made the universe, not Job, concedes and promises not to question nor to criticize again.  God has ways of making his point, and gives us the example of what our living and teaching might be: direct and humble, yet with the force of conviction.
