Acts 13:26-33 / John 14:1-6
As we start the day, our minds are getting filled with what might probably come our way.
Our thoughts might be about work, or about our family members, or about our health, or about our investments, etc.
And as we come before the Lord in the Eucharist, and as we place before Him the things of our minds and hearts, what is it that He wants to tell us and say to us?
Could it be what we heard in the 1st reading, when God spoke through St. Paul in these words: We have come here to tell you the Good News. It was to our ancestors that God made the promise but it is to us, their children, that he has fulfilled it, by raising Jesus from the dead.
So what do these words mean to us? And if we had paid attention to those words, then what is this promise for us now?
God promise to raise Jesus from the dead, and He fulfilled that promise.
And now the Risen Christ promised us in the gospel that He has prepared a place for us in His Father's house and He will return to take us there.
So let not our hearts be troubled with the things of earth. We have to trust in God and in the promise Jesus made to us.
Let us set our hearts on the things of above, and believe in the promise that Jesus made to us - that where He is, we will be there too.
