The Father, Son and the Begotten

WORD 2day: Friday, 4th week after Easter

May 5, 2023: Acts 13:26-33; John 14: 1-6

The promise of the Father and the faithfulness to the promise, the oneness of the Father and the Son, the Son leading us to the Father, the Way to the Father, the Truth of the oneness and the eternal Life that is assured by the Son - these are the themes presented today. These themes give us an important insight into our life of faith - it is not a life of do's and don'ts, nor a life of mere rules and regulations but a life of relationships!

The Father who has been so concerned about this relationship that was initiated in and through the covenant, the Son who felt so related to the Father and wanted to share the same sense of relatedness with us, the Spirit who never leaves us dwelling within us with an intimate relationship, the way of making these relationships true and concrete by our relationships with each other, and finally, being convinced that all of us are related and we are marching together hand in hand towards our eternal home - the love of the Almighty! This is our faith. This is our daily life. This is our call, as begotten ones!

When we treasure our relationships, our daily relationships with each other, making them more and more sincere and loving, we shall experience the presence of the Way, the Truth and the Life illumining our daily life.
