Today's Gospel Verses
John 16:12-15
“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
Today's Reflection
The advancements made by science and technology have given much information about life and the world.
The discoveries have even been extended to outer space and the other planets of the solar system.
But despite the abundance of the information and knowledge, it still has to be said that we do not know everything and there are still things that we do not understand or know about.
From the faith perspective, we believe that God will reveal to us what we need to know.
As Jesus said in the gospel, there are many things that He would want to say to His disciples but it would be too much for them to comprehend at that time.
But Jesus also promised to send the Holy Spirit who will lead them to the truth.
So information and knowledge are not just to satisfy our curiosity or to show how intelligent we are.
Whatever information and knowledge that we have is a revelation from God and it must lead us to a deeper understanding of the truth of God.
With that truth, we will be able to understand the ways of God and live according to His will.
GOD BLESS YOU
Good morning. Have a nice day
