In today’s Gospel, Jn 12: 44-50, Jesus tells us that He came
into the world, not to condemn it, but to save it. He also reminds us that the one who rejects
Jesus, and does not receive Jesus’ word, “already has a judge: the very word I have spoken will condemn [that person] on the
last day.” If I do not believe in
Jesus, I also do not believe In him who sent” Jesus and my unbelief in the Word of God is what condemns
me, not God Himself. I believe and
continue to believe that the God who created me, saved me in Christ Jesus and
continually sanctifies me in the same Lord and Master enters your life and mine
to save us, not condemn us. That is why I pray every day for persons throughout
the world that their eyes, and ears, and hearts will be open to God’s love,
that all will repent of any wrongdoing and turn to the Lord for mercy!
What is your belief?
The world needs those precious prayers more than ever. Such blindness and wild thrashing about. The news lately of a young man being hazed into a fraternity and the horrible way he died ...without anyone offering help over a 12 hour period is more than horrible. It speaks of the decadence of this age.
