YOU DO NOT KNOW ME

YOU DO NOT KNOW ME

Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.

Reading: “You do not know me, nor do you know the Father; if you did know me, you would know my Father as well.” (John 8:12-20)

Reflection. As we enter the final week before Holy Week the tension heightens but so does the revelation. John ratchets up the confrontation with the Jews and here he is quite blunt about the gap between their thinking and the reality before them. This tension will mount until it is suddenly he puts the Jews to one side in chapter 13 and turns to the disciples for the five following. It is to them that the fullest revelation is made, but they cannot grasp it now. The Holy Spirit will teach them later.   

Prayer. Lord, in this time we ask for a deeper belief in your divine presence among us and so we will find courage. Amen
