TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“I came into this world for judgement

so that those who do not see may see,

and those who do see may become blind”

.

– John 9:39 (NRSV)

.

.

.

REFLECTION…

.

Our Lord has not come to condemn the world but to save it,

but His presence among us already involves a judgment,

because each of us has to take a stand

on whether to reject or accept Jesus.

.

Christ’s coming implies the fall of some

and the salvation of others.

In this sense, we will fall into one of two categories:

.

on the one hand, the humble of heart,

who recognise their failings and who go to Jesus in search of forgiveness

– they will receive the light of the Truth;

.

on the other hand, those who are satisfied with themselves

and think that they do not need Christ or His word

– they say they see but they are blind.

.

Therefore it is we ourselves who decide our ultimate fate,

and it all depends on whether we accept or reject Jesus.

.

.

.

REPETITIVE PRAYER FOR TODAY…

.

Lord Jesus, You are the Light of the World!

I was blind, then I found You, and now I see. Amen!
