Wednesday of the 3rd week of Eastertide
Gospel – John 6:35-40
“Yes, it is my Father’s will that whoever sees the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and that I shall raise him up on the last day”. The logic of the plan of the redemption for us according to the Will of the Father who is our creator is this: to be part of the life of Jesus Christ the only Son of the Father. Jesus in His words is explicitly saying this. He incarnated himself not to do His own will but to do the will of the Father who sent Him. And what is the will of the Father? The will of the Father is that the Son must not lose anyone whom the Father has given to him. The love of God the Father is so inclusive that He does not want to lose anyone. It’s up to us whether we believe in Him or not. If we believe, we will have a different life. A life in Christ! A life with the life of Christ. That is totally different. The difference lies in the fact that in the life with Christ there is an eternal aspect in everything we do. Let’s reflect: Easter is the life of Christ lived in everyday life.
