OUR HOME
WITH THEM
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “If anyone loves me they will keep
my word, and my Father will love them, and we shall come to them and make our
home in them.” (John 14:21-26).
Reflection. Paul approved of the stoning of Stephen.
But a few chapters later (Acts 14) we are told that Paul too was stoned. Whay
has happened? Paul has gone through a profound transformation. His whole way of
thinking has been turned upside down. The Father and Jesus have made their home
in him and he has been given power from on high to preach the good news to the
nations. In John 1 the disciples are introduced to Jesus and ask him, “Rabbi,
where do you live?” Now they have their answer,
“We, the father and I, live in you.”
Prayer. Lord, you have come to dwell in
your people. Open our hearts to make room for you.Amen.
