Gospel: John 3:31-36
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:
What would happen to us if we would detach ourselves
from Jesus? We become citizens of this world everything that we do in this
world is anchored in this finite world alone. Many people live for this world alone
they think that there’s no God and there’s no heaven and hell.
So when trials or problems come along their way they
have no other recourse but to solve their trials based on what this world has
taught them to do. And when they are not able to solve their trials. They begin
to lose hope in this world and in themselves as well and it seems that it is
the end of the world for them already. And sad to say some of them would
choose to end their lives.
What would happen to us if we have Jesus in our lives?
We would be full of hope even if the situation around us seem hopeless. This is
the great difference of having Jesus in our lives. We would be full of hope and
we would see things differently as opposed to someone who doesn’t have Jesus in
his/her life.
In our gospel for this Thursday it says: 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.
The choice is ours to take, if we would allow Jesus to
come into our lives or we would continue to shut the doors of our hearts to
Jesus. Let us say that we allow Jesus to become part of our lives, we
would always have hope even if the world around us seems hopeless. – Marino J.
