JOHN 5:17-30
REFLECTION.
one of the distinctive attributes of God for all believers is that he gives life. And only he can do that. Therefore, if you can give life, you must be divine. That was what Jesus wanted his critics to know. They accused him of blasphemy because he claimed to be the son of God. If you are the son of God, then you are a divine person. Jesus had given back life to several persons who were dead. His critics had seen him do that. That was proof beyond doubt of his divinity. Still they did not believe. Jesus could not help their unbelief. The disciples of Jesus down through the ages have had no doubt about his divinity and his power to give life. They look to him to continue to give that life to all who call on him, and give it in abundance. That, according to him, was why he came into the world. (John 10:10)
"when you wonder about the mystery of yourself, look to Christ, who gives you the meaning of life. When you wonder what it means to be a mature person, look to Christ, who is the fullness of humanity. And when you wonder about your role in the future of the world look to Christ. only in Christ will you fulfill your potential....as a citizen of the world community. "
