Wednesday of the 4th week of Eastertide
Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen, Priest, Martyr
Gospel John 12:44-50
“I, the light, have come into the world, so that whoever believes in me need not stay in the dark any more”. This is so clear a message from Jesus Christ who came to save us. He is the light. He came to the world so that anyone who believes in Him needs not stay in the darkness. We must recognize this truth of Jesus Christ that He is the light. This comes from the fact that we see in Jesus Christ the face of the Father. “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in the one who sent me, and whoever sees me, sees the one who sent me”. In Jesus we may forget to see the face of the Father, we fail to believe Him as God. Then we cannot embrace Him as the light. This seeing of the face of the Father in Jesus Christ happens when we listen to the Words of Jesus as the Words which will give eternal life. So the Word of God is the eyeopener to see Jesus Christ as the light which saves us from the darkness. Let’s reflect: Easter is seeing Jesus Christ as the light which keeps me away from darkness.
