In this modern world run with advances in technology and science and free thinking, religion has become a second option and something that people don't care much for. There are people in the world who believe in atheism, that is, they don't believe that there is God. Some people in the world now don't feel that they need God. They are more afraid of thieves and murderers so they build high walls and fix cameras at gates thinking that they can protect themselves.
This is what Jesus is addressing. He says, "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna." Jesus also says, "But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my Heavenly Father." (Matthew 10 : 26 - 33).
In this world that challenges our Faith, and in this society that cares much for the body than for the soul, let us think about how strong our own faith is. Are we ashamed of bearing witness to Jesus? Are we also more careful of our body and neglect our soul?
