Lord, help me to surrender totally to You
2nd Week of Easter : Wednesday 27th April 2022
Acts. 5:17-26; Ps. 33:2-3,4-5,6-7,8-9;
Jn. 3:16-21 (Ps Wk II)
The Apostles were arrested because the high priest and the Sadducees were jealous that people were experiencing miracles at the hands of the Apostles. However, an angel removed them from jail in the middle of the night and instructed them to go to the temple and “tell the people the whole message about this life.” Just as Jesus did, the Apostles were continuing the mission within the temple. When they were brought by the guards to the high court, they did not resist nor were they fearful because they had been obedient to God.
The passage from John is very familiar as John shares that Jesus came for our salvation. God sent Jesus because of His love for humankind. Belief in Jesus means total surrender, not just nodding assent to the knowledge that Jesus is the Son of God. To have life is to welcome Jesus into our lives and follow his way – the way of life-giving love. We are not condemned if we accept God’s grace. We are loved eternally despite our imperfections. Have you accepted God’s grace?
Lord, help me to surrender totally to You.
