Excerpt: In addressing the news of the day (3), Jesus cautions people not to look for specific judgments of God. “Those people” have not suffered a punishment for their particular sins, but everyone must work for reform of life. Each of us is challenged to produce good fruit, and like a tree will only be given so many seasons to do so. Moses recognized the presence of God in the burning bush (1). God told him that he had heard the cries of the people and would come to their aid. Moses was to go and work for the salvation of the people with the whole of his abilities. The challenge remains for us. Have we used all of our re-sources not to judge but to rescue? Judgment belongs to God. Action remains for us. “For all these reasons, let anyone who thinks he is standing upright watch out lest he fall! (2)”
