ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS - 27 April 2021

#FeastOfTheDedication #JesusTheMessiah #Faith TOPIC: DO YOU SOMETIMES ASK YOURSELF – IS JESUS REALLY THE SON OF GOD? First Reading: ACTS 11:19-26 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 87:1B-3, 4-5, 6-7 Alleluia: John 10:27 Gospel: John 10:22-30 In today’s gospel reading, Jesus is asked the question: “How long are you going to keep us in suspense? Tell us the plain truth: are you the Messiah?” Jesus answered, “I have already told you, but you would not believe me. The deeds I do by my Father's authority speak on my behalf.” The Jews who were with Jesus for sometime now, have followed him, observed Him and have seen Him perform miracle after miracle ⏤ healing the sick, driving out demons from persons, multiplying food to feed thousands, raising up people from the dead. And yet, they still wanted more confirmation. Oftentimes, the evidence is staring us in the face but we still do not believe. This is the 385th installment of our CFC quarantine contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
