Gospel
John 20:2-8
The other disciple saw, and he believed
On the first day of the week Mary of Magdala came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’
So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed.
Reflection
On the third day of Christmas the reading focus on the resurrection. While we will revisit this reading in Easter this reading is a reminder the more significant event that we celebrate every Sunday is the return of Christ as God. Without the resurrection Christianity will not exist Today again we are reminded Christ presence in our life is as a living God who is our friend our saviour and our hope.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you have the message of eternal life . May we open our eyes to see and ears to listen.
Amen
