In these days which are part of the celebration of the Easter season, we are reminded over and over again about the wonderful gift that God gave us in sending his son Jesus to live among us. Saint John's words remind us today that the one who comes from heaven testifies to what he has seen and heard (Jn 3:31).
Have you ever stopped to think that God sent his Son to live among us so that we could receive the testimony of one who has seen God for himself, one who has heard his words spoken as though the conversation had taken place around a kitchen table? What better witness could we have of God's truth than Jesus? Yet, many who have heard his words - even in modern days - either have difficulty accepting his testimony or refuse to believe it (cf Jn 3:32).
If we are among the ones who have difficulty accepting his testimony, perhaps we should ask ourselves: why do I have difficulty accepting the testimony that Jesus presents, and what will it take for me to listen for this word? If on the other hand, we ourselves are among those who accept His testimony, we might ask ourselves: how do I strive to be a witness of Jesus in my interactions with others, especially those who are skeptics and those who find it difficult to believe?
Have a great day.
