From the Old Testament, we have a reading from the 2nd Book of Kings; we have been hearing difficult- to-fathom stories from this book all week. This one just tells of a holy man for whom a great courtesy was given and how he repays it.
From the New Testament, we have short verses from Paul's letter to the Romans. A simple message is found; be good and you will receive good, live in Christ and you will receive Christ's reward.
From Matthew's Gospel, we hear no-nonsense quotations of Jesus teaching his Apostles; encompassing the same message. Love me more than anything, including your own life and I will love you and you will receive an eternal reward. Also, treat others in this same way; if they are good to you, be good to them.
It's not a difficult message but one we should remember.
