You Can Not Serve Two Masters. What Actually is Jesus Telling Us?

After hearing about the actions we do each time we hear the Gospel read by the Deacon or Priest, the Homily focuses on today’s Gospel.

Jesus looks around and sees the human heart in a specific light. Jesus says sooner or later one must commit their heart. One must decide how they are going to live.

Jesus tells us that we cannot serve two masters. Let’s be blunt. Everyone serves someone else. Sometimes we serve our own ambition. Sometimes we serve our fears that control us. We are all serving someone or something. The Lord says, let’s be honest. You cannot serve two masters. The Lord again teaches us a lesson. You cannot serve God and serve a spirit of grasping after things. That spirit runs counter to the Gospel. Hear more within this Homily.
