Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus – Messiah”: In today’s Gospel, John the Baptist proclaimed that the “Messiah comes from heaven to bear witness to the things He has seen and heard. . . His testimony attests that God is True. Ponder on, “Are our minds and hearts truly open to God’s Truth? He offers Eternal Happiness! Are we too caught up with the superficial attractions of this secular world?”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
John 3:31-36
John the Baptist said to his disciples: ‘He who comes from above is above all others; he who is of the earth is earthly himself and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven bears witness to the things he has seen and heard, but his testimony is not accepted by anybody; though anyone who does accept his testimony is attesting that God is true, since he whom God has sent speaks God’s own words, for God gives him the Spirit without reserve.
‘The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to his hands. Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will never see life: God’s retribution hangs over him.’
