Reflection of January 10 ,2025. 1 John 5:5-13; Ps. 147; Luke 5:12-16
Eternal life in Jesus
While St Luke gives us the instantly healing and purification of the leper only by Jesus words, St John invites to meditate on his threefold witnesses of water, spirit, and blood as a unified testimony that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. In Jesus, believers have eternal life because he is the beloved Son of God confirmed at his baptism in the Jordan
(Water). He will shed his blood on the cross to save us (Blood). Finally, the coming of the Holy Spirit testifying about Him is a sign of his lordship.
Jesus is the true God and true man in whom all believers should have confidence if they would like to have eternal life.
He has the full potential to heal to forgive and to save.
Giving him our heart is the greatest act of our existence.
Blessed New Year 2025
