Gospel
John 6:60-69
Who shall we go to? You are the Holy One of God
After hearing his doctrine many of the followers of Jesus said, ‘This is intolerable language. How could anyone accept it?’ Jesus was aware that his followers were complaining about it and said, ‘Does this upset you? What if you should see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before?
‘It is the spirit that gives life,
the flesh has nothing to offer.
The words I have spoken to you are spirit
and they are life.
‘But there are some of you who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the outset those who did not believe, and who it was that would betray him. He went on, ‘This is why I told you that no one could come to me unless the Father allows him.’ After this, many of his disciples left him and stopped going with him.
Then Jesus said to the Twelve, ‘What about you, do you want to go away too?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘Lord, who shall we go to? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we know that you are the Holy One of God.’
Reflection
Today we read you have the message of eternal life. Many of us equate eternal life with heaven. The truth is eternal life begin now. Eternal life mean having personal and intimate with God. Christ said God has chose us. How do we return the favour by developing this personal and intimate relationship?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you died on the cross for my sake so that we can have a personal and intimate relationship with the Father. May we always remember your love through our actions and word.
Amen
