Life is a matter of preparation. It is also a journey towards a greater end, to the Father in heaven.

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
