John 12:44–50
Jesus cried aloud, “Whoever believes in me believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come as light into the world, so that everyone who believes in me should not remain in the darkness. I do not judge anyone who hears my words and does not keep them, for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my word has a judge; on the last day the word that I have spoken will serve as judge, for I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment about what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I speak, therefore, I speak just as the Father has told me.”
Reflection
• Our God is so far away, yet Jesus is so close to us. Can I share my humanity with God through the incarnation of Jesus?
• Jesus tells us that he does not come to judge but to save us. Can I be open to allow Jesus to save me?
