NEWNESS OF LIFE
Do we need our hearts to be refreshed, renewed, serviced in these unpredictable times. Paul and Barnabas put fresh hearts encouraging the community to persevere in the faith. Perseverance needs endurance. If our faith is strong, nothing can stand in the way. Hardships, doubts, anxieties does not escape us. We are somehow drawn into the struggle. These we have to experience before we enter eternal life in his kingdom.
St John gives us hope when all is new again. The whole of creation is new. The peace that the world cannot give, the hope that the world cannot give, the joys that the world cannot fulfil. Jesus says, ‘make a home in me, as I make mine in you’. We shall speak of the glory of his reign for HIS is an everlasting kingdom.
In the gospel, the Glory of God is the majesty of God being revealed in the world here and now. Jesus reveals the God of Father through his words and action, through his love and obedience to the Father. And the Father reveals the glory of Jesus in the Resurrection. We share in the glory of God by loving one another! This commandment came in the darkest of time. At the last supper, Judas left to betray him, he will tell Peter that he too will deny him three times and his disciples will run away in fear. Jesus is asking us just as he asked his disciples to love him unconditionally, a love of service and sacrifice. We share in the glory of God by his commandment, “love one another; just as I have loved you!”
