Acts 8:26-40 / John 6:44-51
In life, we meet a lot of people.
Some people we had wanted to meet and we make plans as to how to meet them.
Some people just happen to come along as we move on in life.
But whether we intended to meet them or they just happen to come into our lives, we have various experiences with them.
Some were happy and memorable, some were hi-and-bye and forgettable.
In the 1st reading, the meeting between Philip and the Ethiopian officer was a happy and memorable one.
It was the Spirit who arranged the meeting between the two of them and it was also an experience of the presence of Jesus.
Though they never met again after that, it was a moment of rejoicing in their lives.
In the gospel, Jesus said that no one can come to Him unless that person is drawn by the Father who sent Him.
But it can also be said that the people that God sent to us in our journey of life will have an influence in our lives.
Let us thanks for the people that God sent into our lives.
May we have happy and memorable moments with them, and may we also share with them the presence of Jesus.
