The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is
earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is
above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his
testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his
gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to
him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son
will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.

Reflection:
Why can’t we convince others to go to church for Holy Mass and why can’t
we share Jesus with them? This is for the reason that many of us don’t live the
teachings of Jesus. We are not humble we don’t live our faith in other words.
What must we do if we are in this kind of predicament? Should we
easily give up or should we change our ways. It’s no brainer that the wise
choice is to change our ways and not give up. Because if we would give up, who
will evangelize them? We leave them to be evangelized by those from other
faiths?
We must teach our faith but we must do it with humility, patience and
love. We have to employ humility, patience and love so that we could open their
hearts to the teachings of Jesus and our faith. For example our gospel for
today tells us about the love of God for His Son. How would they know about
this if we will not teach them?
We have to teach them using humility, patience and love. We will always
become effective evangelizers of our faith if we are humble, patient and loving.
For these are the qualities of Jesus. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
