Today’s Gospel

Yet Jesus had said, and even cried out, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.  I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.

If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I am not the one to condemn him; for I have come, not to condemn the world, but to save the world. The one who rejects me, and does not receive my words, already has a judge: the very words I have spoken will condemn him on the last day.

For I have not spoken on my own authority; the Father, who sent me, has instructed me what to say and how to speak. I know that his commandment is eternal life, and that is why the message I give, I give as the Father instructed me.”

 Today’s Reflection

How seriously do we take Jesus’ words? Jesus assures us that those who believe him will no longer live in darkness. He came not to condemn the world but to save it. He warns us that whoever rejects him and does not receive his words will be condemned on the last day. This may seem harsh but he is very serious about this matter. As Christians, our faith must be demonstrated in our lives. Believing is not just accepting something as true. It also involves actions on our part. Our faith in God ought to transform us into persons who make difference in our communities.
