Meditation Minute
“Amen, amen, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death.” In today’s Gospel reading (John 8:51-59), the Israelites continue to challenge Jesus. Jesus’ teaching are so far removed from anything they have heard before they become angered at his declarations. The Jews did not understand what Jesus was telling them. The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, `If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.' Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died?” What death is Jesus talking about? The death that Jesus talks about is Hell. To deny the Word of God is sure death. To know the Word is to know God. To know God is to know eternal life. We must live the Word as part of our daily life. The Word of God has been given to us. The Word of God is the love dispersed without any expectation. The Word of God s the mercy and compassion we yield to those who deserve it the least. The Word of God is desire to give our life to Christ.
A Simple Prayer
Come Holy Spirit, fill my soul with the Word of God.
May the fire in my soul lead others to your Word.
Yours in Christ
Michael Marcon
