Acts 13:26-33, John 14:1-6
In Acts 13:26-33, Paul speaks to the people about Jerusalem not recognizing Jesus and putting Him to death. Witnesses to the resurrection proclaim the good news of Jesus raised up which fulfills God’s promise to our fathers.
Are we recognizing Jesus in our daily lives? Do we see Him in the poor and discriminated, the weak and unborn? Are we putting Him to death again and again by not acknowledging His presence? We all need to be witnesses to the saving power of Christ’s passionate love for each of us.
Rejoice! God’s promise has been fulfilled! Jesus has risen…He is alive! We have been redeemed and each of us is called to proclaim this good news. As children of God, our mission is to continue Paul’s work of bringing the life and hope of Jesus to our weary world.

The Gospel of John 14:1-6 has Jesus telling us not to be troubled and that His promise is for all of us as He prepares a place for us in His Father’s house. In these times, when there is trouble all around the world, it is refreshing and joyful to know that Jesus truly loves all of us. To have died for our sins and be resurrected from the dead brings a calming influence into our lives. We know that no matter how bad situations may be those who believe in our holy leader will certainly live a good life in the heavenly kingdom. Let the last verse assure us, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me”.
