Extract
John the Baptist said, “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life”. (John 3:36)
Thought
It was at a very early stage in Jesus’ ministry that John spoke those words; a lot happened between then and Jesus’ resurrection.
Just before Jesus’ ascension into heaven, He reminded his Apostles of the same promise saying, “The one who believes and is baptised will be saved”. (Mark 16:16)
Reflection
Lord Jesus, may no-one or nothing, blind the light of my faith.
Prayer: Holy Spirit
Most Holy Spirit, beloved of my soul, I adore You.
Enlighten me, guide me, comfort me, console me.
I promise to submit myself to all You desire of me,
And permit all You wish to happen to me.
Give me Your help, tell me what to do.
Most Holy Spirit, bring peace to my world. Amen.
