TODAY’S WORD…

.

Jesus said,

“I will do whatever you ask in my name,

so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it.”

.

– John 14:13-14 (NRSV)

REFLECTION…

.

Jesus Christ is our Divine Intercessor in Heaven;

therefore, He promises us that everything we ask for in His name,

He will do.

However, it is not for us to decide when, where and how.

.

When I ask in faith, in Jesus’ Name,

I am appealing to the power of the Risen Christ,

believing that He is all-powerful and merciful because He is true God.

.

Jesus is our Saviour

so, when I ask in His Name,

I ask for what is conducive to my salvation,

or to the salvation of the person or persons I am praying for.

.

When it seems that my prayers haven’t been answered,

it is because what I asked for would not have made for my salvation

or for the salvation of who I prayed for.

.

In this way we can see that Jesus is, above all and always, our Saviour

…both when He refuses us what we ask

as well as when He grants it.

.
