Today's Gospel Verses
John 8:19-20
Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”
“You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
Today's Reflection
One of the elements that captures our attention is light.
The darkness of a place is scattered by just a small little light and its source can be easily identified.
As much as light brightens up a dark place and brings comfort, not all lights are easy on the eyes.
When a strong beam of light shines into our eyes, we would immediately shield our eyes from it.
When the light is too bright, it will hurt our eyes.
Jesus said that He is the light of the world.
His light beckons us to follow Him so that we will not walk in the dark.
And in following Jesus, we will also have the light of life.
The light of our lives should shine with gentle humility and our light should lead others to Jesus the true light.
May we be that little light of God's love that will bring comfort to others and warm up their lives.
GOD BLESS YOU
