Greetings on this the Wednesday of the Sixth Week of Easter
Readings: Acts 17:15, 22—18:1; Psalm 148:1-2, 11-12, 13, 14; John 16:12-15
Summary
For ‘In him we live and move and have our being,’
as even some of your poets have said,
‘For we too are his offspring.’
Since therefore we are the offspring of God,
we ought not to think that the divinity is like an image (Act 17:28-29).
Reflection
But when he comes, the Spirit of truth, he will guide you to all truth.
If divinity is not like an image then what is it like?
Near.
Personal.
We live and move and have our being in Him.
We are his children.
Personal Reflection
Images are nice to look at and can be evocative of all sorts of wonderful moments and refreshment. But images (in this sense of the word) are just a way to go deeper. Soon the image gives way to the actual and real and personal.
To each of you… he is sent, he will speak, he will declare and he will glorify Jesus… for you and within you. Not from across the room but from the interior.
