Christ Message is to Everlasting LIfe.

 

2nd Week of Easter Friday

Acts 5:34-42

Meditation

Christ's Message is to Everlasting Life.

Gamaliel advised the troubled Sanhedrin well. He told them if it is God’s work that they preach Jesus, it will go one. If it is only human effort, it will not stand. He told them to leave these men and their activity to themselves. If it is God’s work, we may even be working against God still. It was timely advice for the elders by Gamaliel.

We know the reality of the word of God and the message of Resurrection was proclaimed far and wide. The message of God has been proclaimed by so many humble and simple instruments down through the centuries, even to this day. Many people were directly or indirectly involved in the proclamation of the message of Resurrection. These days, through the modern means of communication, many are preaching the good news courageously in spite of so much opposition and obstruction.

Do we know the message of Christ is the message of eternal life?

Gospel: Jn 6:1-15

Meditation

People were taken up by the wonders Jesus was performing. The wonders he performed included healing the sick. Crowds came to listen to him and be cured of their illnesses. They were with him a long time and had nothing to eat. Jesus tells his disciples to feed them, but they express their incapacity to do so. Jesus asks them if they have something edible.

 A boy gets five barley loaves and two fish.  Jesus takes them, blesses them.  He gives it to all the people – everyone has enough to eat.  People were amazed at this miracle and they want to make Jesus king but Jesus went away to the mountains.

 Do you know that Jesus is the King, but his kingdom does not belong to this world?

Do we belong to Jesus' Kingdom and share His values?
