Eternal Life is Ours!
Jesus makes us a promise in today’s selection from the Gospel of St. John. We read,
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if anyone eats if this bread, he will live forever.” John 6:51
When we consume Jesus, we partake of His Divine Life and it changes how we live in the world! As people living in the world, we will have struggles, but they cannot destroy us.
We join the Lord who turned the instrument of death, the Cross, into the instrument of life eternal!
Eternal life is ours if we feed on Jesus, in His word and in the Sacraments!
Every cross we have to deal with becomes the key to resurrection! We, through Jesus, overcome all that is meant to destroy us!
Feeding on Jesus will bring us through all things, if we surrender to Him and let Him take control of all of the situations that we go through! Even the final cross, our earthly death, cannot have the final say, or to put it as St. Paul said,
“O death where is thy sting or grave where is thy victory.” 1 Cor 15:55
Feed on Jesus and have Eternal Life!
Eternal Life Now!
