Wednesday of Fifth Week of Lent - John
8:31-42
Today Jesus says to the Jews who believed in him, “If you
remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, and you will know the truth
and the truth will set you free.”
Take a moment and ask yourself: Do you “remain in Jesus’ word”? How do you do this? Do you take time to read the Scripture, the
Gospels? More importantly, do you strive
to embody Jesus’ word? At times, it may
be difficult to know what it means to remain in Jesus’ word. Today I invite you to choose a phrase or
sentence of this Gospel and slowly repeat the phrase or sentence aloud or in
your mind for five to seven minutes.
After you have done this, sit quietly for another few
minutes. When you are ready, open your
eyes and thank Jesus for being with you today.
Allow Jesus’ word to remain in you throughout your day. You may realize that simply remaining in
Jesus’ word is the best gift you can give yourself and the world.
