John 6:35–40
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever
comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe.
Everything that the Father gives me will come to me, and anyone who comes to me
I will never drive away; for I have come down from heaven, not to do my own
will, but the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me,
that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the
last day. This is indeed the will of my Father, that all who see the Son and
believe in him may have eternal life; and I will raise them up on the last day.”
Reflection
In my prayer today, can I contemplate Christ’s
assurance that he will raise us all up on the last day because that is the will
of his Father?
Would I like to lead a life like that of Jesus which
is a response to the polar attraction of the Father’s will?
