Acts 8:26-40 / John 6:44-51
There are many things in life that we don’t quite understand, or know what it is all about.
The laws and wonders of nature are certainly quite beyond our reasoning.
The complexity of human relationships are also a mystery to us.
And of course, God is a mystery that is beyond our comprehension.
In the 1st reading, the Ethiopian eunuch may have read that passage of scripture a couple of times.
He couldn’t quite understand the meaning until Philip came along and explained it to him.
He was so enlightened that he requested for baptism.
In the gospel, Jesus said that it is written in the prophets, that to hear the teaching of God and learn from it is to come to Him.
When there are aspects of the faith, or the Church, or our lives that we don’t understand, let us not get frustrated or flustered.
In God’s time and in God’s way, we will learn and be enlightened.
And then, we will come to Jesus with rejoicing hearts.
