3rd Week of Easter, Saturday, 29-04-2023

Acts 9:31-42 / John 6:60-69

To be spoilt for choice may initially sounds like exciting.

There will be many options and we can compare one with the other.

It is like going to a computer shop and looking at the number of laptops on display and we can browse from one model to the other.

But in the end, if we can only choose to buy one, then no matter how many choices there are, no matter how many options there are, then it is “Yes” to one and “No” to the rest.

So, in being spoilt for choice, we may end up wasting more time, getting distracted from what we really need, losing focus on what we really want and even being unhappy with the one that we eventually choose.

When it comes to putting our faith in Jesus, then we also know that we must believe and trust in Him alone.

But the gospel said that many of the followers of Jesus could not accept what Jesus said and thought that it was intolerable language and they stopped going with Him.

But when Peter and the apostles had to make choice, Peter said this, which we must always remember:
Lord, who shall we go to? You have the message of eternal life, and we believe; we know that you are the Holy One of God.

May Jesus be our only choice. The other options are not worth it.
