GOSPEL
READING AND REFLECTION
JOHN
14:1-6
“Do
not be troubled! Trust in God and trust in me! In my Father’s house there are
many rooms; otherwise, I would not have told you that I go to prepare a place
for you. After I have gone and prepared a place for you, I shall come and take you to me, so that
where I am, you also may be. Yet you
know the way where I am going.”
Thomas
said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?” Jesus said, “I am
the way, the truth and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me.”
Point
of Reflection
Jesus
joining into the human history is an invitation for us to be with the Father’s
house on the judgment day. God sent us Jesus as our
invitation program for us to be able to enter into the gate of heaven and enjoy
the greatest banquet in the Father’s house.
Brothers
and sisters I challenge you to take some few minutes to reflect in deep silence
regarding Jesus as an invitation program for you in Heaven. As you reflect ask yourself
the following questions: Shall I accept or reject Jesus as my invitation
program in heaven? If you, for now
decide to reject Jesus as your invitation program, would there be another
invitation program for you in the future? What will happen if you will loss
this present invitation program intended for you?
Life’s
fulfillment depends on the proper order of priorities. Acknowledge that you are
nothing without God. So our first priority must be God. Acknowledge that
without yourself you can’t have anything. So let yourself be the second
priority. Acknowledge that all material things around you is necessary for
life. Let material things be your third priority. Finally, right priorities
unlock the fullness of life. And therefore, it is insanely insane not to accept
Jesus as our invitation program that unlocks the door of heaven for us.
Prayer
Father
God we glorify your holy name in heaven and in earth. It is our joy to honor
you throughout the rest of our lives. Thank you for being our great provided. Thank
you for being the light of our darkness. And thank you for being our hope in
great despair. Father God, we ask you to bless us with all your goodness. Bless
our heart and mind so that whatever choices we may be optioned, you must be the
first. Amen
