Necessary if you practice the Lord's Commandments. Interesting because the text does not quote the Commandments referring to God, but only to the next one. This is not to say that Jesus is abandoning some commandments, but acting in such a way as to mean that the Commandments connected with God can only be lived if His disciples put into practice the good of others. Turning to God by neglecting the neighbor is false religion, it is subjectivism, individualism, and also fanaticism. In love of neighbor, we reveal the love for God simultaneously. The disciples need to turn to the Lord not only through faith, but also and precisely, through the exercise of charity and the defense of life. In a whole of dedicated life, there are characteristics such as availability, solidarity and fraternity, indispensable virtues in the life of faith.
The announced Word will not reach the heart of the other unless it is led by love, necessary in the evangelizing mission. If the other does not listen to the announcement made, at least he will keep in mind the loving form of the action of those who proclaimed the Word to him and it will count in his future.
4. How is it possible to renounce a life of struggle, personal conquests, dreams, wealth acquired only to follow a "master," someone who, through his ideas, can not only involve an audience, but actually ruin everything the "empire" of the tyrannical logic of the world. The heart of man is lowered before the proposal of Jesus, the heart is saddened by the material world. Only through a great faith, of something extremely superior to everything, will man be able to make such an exchange. Here is the great demand for one who desires to be a disciple: to be able to believe in Jesus not only as a Master, a spiritual Guide, a great man, the greatest of prophets, but much more than that, it is necessary to believe in Him as Lord, a with the Father and with the Holy Spirit. This faith became possible only with the Resurrection. Helping others is important, but you have to do this by believing absolutely in the Lordship of Jesus, in His divinity.
6. "Verily I say unto you, he that hath left house, brethren, sisters, mother, father, children, fields, FOR ME AND THE GOSPEL, shall receive a hundredfold, and in the future world, ETERNAL LIFE. Jesus establishes that one or the other of the material bonds, including the family, will receive a new reality, eternal life, and a new family, structured in the values of the gospel, as brotherhood and sharing of goods, as well as a hundredfold what resigned In other words, you will receive in abundance! But He adds: He will receive all this, but with persecution. It will be pursued by the greedy, by those who sacrifice everything they possess to have even more, to satisfy all their desires and promises, be they businessmen, landowners and, mainly, corrupt politicians. The disciple must be prepared for a host world to truth, love and life.
7. In the renunciations mentioned by Jesus, He also intrudes the father, but receiving a hundred times more does not mention the earthly father again. Of course, the greatest richness for those who follow Him is the attainment of communion with His Father, the eternal Father, the Father of the new family, the Father who in creating, educating in truth and hope, and, above all, by loving to the point of giving up the eternal Son as the victim of atonement for the good of all. It will only be part of this new reality who is able to get rid of all worldly bonds, the attachments of life, everything that deprives him of the true freedom of God's son; will live as a Christian, who will not submit to the logic of money, profit, worldly goods, disordered affective involvements. A true Christian will be one who absolutely adhere to Christ, basing all his life on the Gospel, making himself a true gift, in the detachment of everything for the good of all.
A strong and affectionate hug.
Father José Erinaldo
