The Light and Darkness

 

PART XXIX

Lord Jesus, let your Holy Spirit guide us to the truth which is hidden in the Scriptures

  The media mainly the internet is very much popular in our daily life and we should be very careful while browsing it. So many kind of false teaching is approaching us through many inter sites, apps, even many other kind of Christian web sites as well. Which might’ve guide us to evil ways, the darkness. The media’s main purpose is to keep us away from the real light of Jesus. They publish their own ideas and doctrines other than true Catholic Doctrines which has no spiritual values and it may destroy our Catholic faith.

   Each one of us has a specific plan from God to build His kingdom. The Charisms varies from one to another. God has entrusted us His Gospel to preach to the whole world. That’s what our duty in Christ and that is our Charism. ‘God has approved us to be entrusted with the gospel, and this is how we preach, seeking to please not human beings but God who test our hearts’ (1Thes. 2:4) We are to be called the heralds of the Gospel and we should be faithful to God’s call. We have to fulfil the will of God at any matter of fact. Br Victor once said in a talk: ‘You are the Ambassadors for Christ our Lord.If we are in Word of God, we cannot please the ordinary people but we can please those who are having the zeal for Jesus and his kingdom. The Holy Spirit is guiding us to the complete the truth and will reveal the things to come. ‘However, when the Spirit of truth comes he will lead you to the complete truth, since he will not be speaking of his own accord, but will say only what he has been told; and he will reveal to you things to come.’ (Jon. 16:  13) Jesus will reveal all the mysteries of his kingdom through his Spirit. But one thing we have to do is, become nothing to receive Jesus in a full manner. If our Lord has given us the authority to preach, we should be faithful to that call. 

  The obedience is the best virtue to know the truth. Only the humble can obey wholeheartedly other wise it will be a matter of arguments or an internal conflict of doubts. Truth is always hidden from the wicked and proud. Humility can open the veil of our soul to seek the Truth. Jesus is the One who humbled himself to become nothing as an oblation to God.

The Daily Of God

 


Daily Word on 27th Nov 2023

Eternal life is hidden in the Scriptures 

John 5:39–40 (NJB):  39 You pore over the scriptures, believing that in them you can find eternal life; it is these scriptures that testify to me, 40 and yet you refuse to come to me to receive life! 

Jesus is telling us we have studied Holy Scriptures, because we found there is eternal life. These Scriptures are not simply words but the Word of God, that is Jesus and in him we found salvation for each one of us. The Scriptures of Old Testament is witnessing that God is coming into this world through flesh of an human being that is our Lady, Mother Mary. How can we neglect the reality and the truth of Jesus’s Divinity and humanity. We are invited to believe in the Word of God and the presence of Jesus in it while reading and reflecting, hear his voice, what he is speaking to each one of us. 

Lord, you are telling us to believe in you and receive life in its fullness. Amen!
