WHAT IS ABOVE IS SUPERIOR

Thursday of the Second Week of Easter John 3:31-36. Our gospel for today is a beautiful reminder about the supremacy of the realities above. We are all spiritual being with a human body. My dear friends, we are not meant for below because our origin is from above. I remember what I told last Tuesday: “The love of heaven make us heavenly. The love of the world make us worldly.” Today never allow the things below hold your rising. We cannot go up holding hands with the world. Rise up to heaven by letting go what is temporal. Let us set our minds of the things above because what is above is above! In today’s first reading (Acts 5:27-33) we learn that obedience to God must never be delayed. Brethren, no matter what happened ALWAYS obey the Lord than men. “We must obey God rather than any human authority.” Folks, we are challenge to obey God even if we do not know where our obedience may lead us to. Do not drift away from Jesus for nothing and for no one. Those who believed in the Son of God will be rewarded but those who dont will be punished. Remember, in the days of Noah, obedience saved eight people and disobedience ended the world. We are reminded today that obedience is a mark of a wiseman. “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” When we love the Lord, obedience stops to be a burden and obedience becomes a delight. We will never have this day again so make this day best day ever by choosing to obey God than men. We will never go wrong in obeying God. In whatever we do strive to be the best at it. Just be the best you can be. Do not strive to be better than others rather; strive to be better than your best self. Today, make a decision to become a better person of today than you were yesterday. Folks, let us make the rest of our life the best of our life. Blessings Fr. Jhack
