Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Jesus – Son of God” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, John the Baptist was deeply inspired to proclaim, “He/Jesus who comes from heaven bears witness . . . that God is true, since He speaks God’s own words.” Ponder on, “Are we fully open to God’s Truth that Jesus and the Church Teachings proclaim or do we choose to believe only what we like?”
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.’
