1 John 3:7-10 / John 1:35-42 (2020)
We are already into the fourth day of the new year. If we had made new year resolutions, then how are those resolutions coming around?
If we had made new year resolutions, then how many of these are about our spiritual lives?
Although some people say that making resolutions are futile because they are not going to be kept, yet it is still good and even necessary to make one.
It is still not too late to make a spiritual resolution in order to have a direction in our faith.
The 1st reading gives us a direction for a resolution - to live a holy life and to be holy just as God is holy.
It also tells us how important holiness is in our lives. To be holy is to belong to God. To be sinful is to belong to the devil.
To be holy means to be loving to others because God's seed of love must bear fruit in us.
Just as in the gospel, Andrew followed Jesus and saw where He lived and stayed with Him.
Then with love in his heart, Andrew went to tell his brother Simon Peter.
May we also see God's love in us and that He lives in our hearts, and may we go forth to live our lives in love.
