To go to school in order to be educated does not mean we are not intelligent in the first place.
Rather it means that we are intelligent to know that there is plenty left to learn.
The learning process is indeed a slow and long process; in fact learning is a life-long process.
Yet, there are still certain questions that we don't have any answers for in spite of our education.
For example, in the gospel passage, why is there a man possessed by an unclean spirit in the synagogue of all places?
Or why is there so much evil and terror and horror in the world despite the fact that Jesus had already came and He is supposed to bring us peace?
The 1st reading puts it wisely: At present, it is true, we are not able to see that everything has been put under His command.
But in Jesus we also saw how He was subjected to evil in the forms of suffering and death.
Yet, He overcame death and conquered sin and He is now crowned with glory and splendour.
So if there is anything we need to learn about life, we need to turn to Jesus and learn from Him.
In the midst of the troubles and evils of life, let us stay close to Jesus and learn from Him for He is the Holy One of God.
When we live holy lives, the noise of the evil in this world will be slowly silenced.
