Today's Biblical Meditation:
Today God still teaches us faith with His Scriptures, but now it is more focused on the meaning of faith, that is love for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit has revealed to us that Jesus comes from God, as such if we are truly on the path of the Lord then we shall acknowledge and we shall love God. Love for Christ manifest in 2 forms that is love in the soul and love in the act. Love in the soul means the totality of our feeling and self-orientation towards Christ that is in love. We desire to accept Christ's service but moreso we desire to serve Him. Love in action means we do all of the wills and teachings of Christ which is centered upon the teaching of Love. Love for Christ require those 2 forms, without one of which it is incomplete and dead. As it is written in James 2:17, . In the other readings we see the consequence of that love, or faith in Him, that we shall be strengthened in all things challenging great suffering. When we follow Christ, it is true that we must carry up our cross, but Jesus will help us carry that cross which is sometimes still very heavy for us despite already being much lighter than Jesus' cross which is infinitely heavy. With this meditation, hopefully we can love our Lord Jesus Christ more.
Act and Reflect: Have we already and want to truly love Jesus Christ which has loved us first?
