The woes against Chorazin and Bethdsaida (Mt 11: 20-24) show and angry, exasperated Jesus, who had bent over backwards to teach and heal but the people did not repent nor accept him. His anger is understandable and justified in view of all he did for them. We know the feeling when we do our best to help others and all we hear are negatives from them. Jesus's reproach might be considered mild in comparison to ours! Yet, it is the human condition. We are never satisfied, always looking for more. We can be so self-centered and act like "spoiled brats" and yet God keeps reaching out to us, and gives us opportunity after opportunity to hear him and change our behaviors. What is one attitude, one behavior that we'd like to(need to) eliminate? What is one positive attitude, behavior, virtue, we'd like to incorporate into our life?
Starting small, one step at a time, could turn us around to become the person God has in mind for us. Remember, nothing is impossible with God!
