Monday of the 3rd week of Eastertide
Gospel John 6:22-29
“Do not work for food that cannot last, but work for food that endures to eternal life, the kind of food the Son of Man is offering you, for on him the Father, God himself, has set his seal.” Whatever we are doing we must have this phrase of Jesus in our mind. That we must live with the view of eternal life. Whatever we do must have a reference to the eternal life. Otherwise, we will miss the main point. When Jesus said this, they asked him, “What must we do if we are to do the works that God wants?”. And Jesus answered them, “This is working for God: you must believe in the one he has sent”. Believing in Jesus Christ is that we must do. Here we can understand that believing is something active. It’s not static. Believing is dynamic. It must be present always. Our belief in Jesus Christ must define our every action and thought. That is the dynamic faith we must have. Let’s reflect: Easter is having a dynamic faith in Jesus Christ which reshapes all our activities.
