Gospel: John
3:31-36
The one
who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and
speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He
testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever
does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom
God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The
Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in
the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but
the wrath of God remains upon him.

Reflection:
What will
happen to you if you detach yourself from Jesus? You become a citizen of this
world everything that you do in this world is anchored in this finite world
alone. Many people live for this world alone they think that there’s no God and
there’s no heaven.
So when
trials or problems comes along their way they have no other recourse but to
solve their trials based on what this world has taught them to do. And when
they are not able to solve their trials they begin to lose hope in this world
and in themselves as well and it seems that it is the end of the world for them
already.
What
would happen to you if you have Jesus in your life? You will be full of hope even
if the situation around you seems hopeless. This is the great difference of
having Jesus in your life; you will be full of hope and you will see things
differently. As opposed to someone who doesn’t have Jesus in his/her life.
In our
gospel for this Thursday it says: Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains
upon him.
The
choice is ours to take, if we will allow Jesus to come into our lives or we
will continue to shut the doors of our hearts to Jesus. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
