JESUS IS THE LIGHT

Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Easter Year C John 12:44-50 The struggle between the powers of light and darkness dominate in John’s gospel. Friends amidst of these two opposites the desire of God for us is for us to live in the light. Choosing to live in the light brightens other people’s way. Folks, those who lives the light will make clear the reality of God in the world. If we truly accept and believe what Jesus teaches, there should be some evidence in our lives of that belief. Mother Teresa once said: “Words which do not give the light of Christ, increases the darkness.” How to spread the light? First, believe in Jesus for He is the light Himself. Second, shine your light because we are design to brighten the darkness of the unbelievers. Let your kindness shine so that all nations on earth may praise the Lord. Third, we must pass through the darkness to reach the light. Life has ups and downs. It does not have to be perfect to be wonderful. Our experience of pandemic is telling us that this world is not perfect but God is. We will surely have valley of darkness but don’t be scared of it for within us is the light of a thousand suns. Let us make this as our mantra today: this little light of mine, I am gonna let it shine. Blessings Fr. Jhack
