Do you know about the 'Tax Amnesty Act' in the Philippines? It is one of the Major acts and legislation recently signed by President Marcos. He has signed for a new two-year extension of the estate tax amnesty for the people, they tell more than one million Filipino families will get benefited from this amnesty act.
At the same time, some criticize that President Marcos has a big number of unpaid estate taxes, it is to avail himself of unpaid estate taxes.
Tax governance was one of the important issues of the government.
Today's Message from Jesus is "Let the little things never take the place of greater things in our life".
Jesus was concerned about the greater things. For Him, the little things could be settled or ignored, instead of fighting upon.
In today’s Gospel, the priority or focus for Jesus is to embrace the crucifixion, “to be handed over to men, and die”. He had clarity in his goal. That is why he did not spend time-fighting against the rules which were oppressing the poor people like the tax burden by the Roman Govt.
In today’s readings, Moses and Jesus are preparing the people for the kind of life, where we need to clarify the priority in our life; "to love and serve the Lord, your God, with all your heart and all your soul".
Do not Give time for useless debates, and try to solve the big issues (to our eyes) in a simple way.
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world”.
- Many times we fix the priority as our goals, but spend time worrying about small things.
- Today the priority of young men/women is; “What reel in Instagram? How many likes are in this pic?”
- Small things should not take the place of essential things.
