Prayer Prompt before reading JN 3:1-8: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and God the Son so that I may know who I am.
“WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON HAS ETERNAL LIFE” JN 3:31-36
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus in the middle of the night telling him who He is. Nicodemus is a high ranking Jew and one who actually believes Jesus could be the Messiah the Jews have been waiting for. Jesus continues to teach us that He is God and the Father has given Him everything.
He also says very strong words about the afterlife. We have to believe in the Son to enter eternal life. Afterlife is a radical belief. It is not something easy to believe in since all we know is our earthly life, our physical world. Jesus asks us to trust in Him and be not afraid. He is here to teach us about our heavenly home.
It might be important to read a book on near death experiences (NDE) or near death experiences of the blind. These are cases when people are dead/unconscious for a few minutes, see a light, dead relatives, or themselves and the doctors/nurses working on them. It is proof consciousness exists outside the body or after life. Most importantly, Jesus proves this to us with the resurrection of His body.
The gospels are not a myth or an entertaining fantasy novel. Jesus rose from the dead. This changes everything and should change the way we live each day for this life in preparation for the next. It means this world is not all there is. It changes the way we live our life to prepare for the eternal world with God in all of his glory, no pain, suffering, sin, death, and brokenness.
“The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to Him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” Jn 3:31-36
We have a Father in heaven who radically loves us and His one greatest desire is for His children to be back with Him. Choose wisely, belief begins in your heart and Christ reveals that we must believe in Him to enter eternal salvation. Christianity is the only religion that matures. It has a past, present, and future. Learn more about Jesus, pray, and share this Good News with others. He is alive, be present to Him, and spend time with Him!
Be a servant, be a saint today!
#Christian YODO (You Only Die Once; we will live again with our Creator, Savior, and the Advocate who guides us in eternal joy)
I think that Jesus is trying to tell us that his love is invinate like he says he does not ration it he gives it out to everyone and he loves us no matter what we do.
We have a Father in heaven who radically loves us
This stuck out to me because it’s true. Our Father does love us. He always will love us, and he will never stop loving us. Loving is what he does and he won’t stop doing that at any giving point in your life. He loves you, he loves your neighbor, he loves every single person on this lovely earth. God is our God, love him as he loves you.
THe gospel speak’s of ho we must follow god’s will for then we reach but if not we suffer the internal rage of hell.The one who comes from above is above all.
said in the gospel because we must remember God is above all of us.
Nicodemus is one of the most high-ranking Jews there is to offer, yet he believes that Jesus might be the Messiah, and isn’t afraid to ask questions. Jesus is more than happy to answer, and He tells Nicodemus the truth about Himself. Jesus knows that we have questions about what is to come, and He wants us to know the truth. This is why he gives us near death experiences, so that we may have proof about what is to come. He loves us in this way, and is not afraid to show us what is waiting for us in heaven.
I feel like the main message about the gospel today is God is above all. In all things he is the most high, the most powerful. This is really a beautiful thing and a blessing to have a Lord who loves us and cares for us more than we can imagine. He will always want what is best for us and always show us our path and it is our job to put him first and follow his way. The Lord will never take us down the wrong path, even if we feel like it is, he is leading us to him, to spend a life of joy and happiness eternally.
In today’s Gospel I think that John is trying to say that Jesus is above all and that he speaks of heavenly things. The line “But whoever disobeys the Son will not see life.” to me means that to get into heaven to experience eternal life we need to follow Jesus. Following Jesus is not easy but with God’s help it is doable. We should all be striving to meet God in heaven after we pass away.
Today Jesus talks about Himself and the afterlife. God tells us directly that He is the Son of God. Before He died and rose from the dead it might have been hard during that time to believe Him. Just like during that time it is still hard to believe in Him today. We blame Jesus sometimes for bad things happening to us. God has a plan for us through life and He knows what we are going to do. We need to follow Him and trust in his will so we can be with Him in Heaven.
He is alive be present with Him and spend time with Him. This stands out to me because it shows that God truly is present in the Mass and He truly is everywhere and always with us. No matter where we go God will always be with us and He will always love us just as much as He did before that is what makes God God, His love for us,
Todays Gospel is about the after life. We cant will our selves into heaven we have to believe in God and do good works to help our neighbor in order to achieve eternal life with the father
Today in the Gospel in the first line it talks about the one from above being above all but then just two lines later it talks about the one from heaven being above all. I can’t tell if these are contradicting like their is one above all and then their is one above the one above all, or if they’re the same person. In the middle of this there is the person of earthly things (Us as Humans). We are the lowest of the low. We can not work our way up to him or anything we are the lowest of the low because of our default to sin. Later in the Gospel it talks about the one who he sent can speak the word of God. So I think this relates to the start that the prophets are above other people but God is above all of the prophets and the normal people. Then he says that the eternal son as long as you follow his word will grant you eternal life. But those who do not listen to the son do not listen to me so they shall not stay with me.
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life”. This part in the Gospel stuck out to me the most. We need to believe in Jesus and then we will have eternal life. This doesn’t just mean believing that He existed but also believing that He was the Son of God. And it means following His teachings and doing as we are taught by Him. We need to apply His teachings to every decision we make and every day we live.
Something that I got out of this was that we need to respect and try to be like Jesus. Like it says in the Gospel, many of us speak of only earthly things, therefore we are earthly, but we need to really understand what the purpose of our life is. It acts like a short little test before we are supposed to go to heaven, but many people mess up and do have to serve the punishment, so lets all try and do our purpose and get to heaven.
In today’s scripture it says “The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to Him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” this means that Those who believe in the Son receive eternal life, while those who disbelieve the Son will not see life and will face God’s wrath. This emphasizes that salvation is exclusively through faith in Jesus Christ.
“Whoever believes in me will have eternal life”. Some of might think this is scary, like we have to believe in him in order to have life. Like we have to put all of our might into believing in him. Well the Lord doesn’t want you to fear him, he wants you with him. That’s all he wants. But what does he mean by ” Whoever believes in me will have eternal life”. Well Jesus we know as the way, the truth, and THE LIFE. No one goes to the Father except through Him. He has been saying it this whole time, when we need the father, Jesus is the bridge to the Father. He is why we have pathway to Heaven. Because before when you died you just went to Hell, because there was no pathway to Heaven. So Jesus was there to make that path. Believing in Jesus is a Lifesaver, he is your seat belt on the car ride. He is there to have you. That’s all he wants. He wanted us to believe in the fact he is the Life, and he died and rose from the dead. When we believe in him, we will die, and HE will rise us from the dead. As he called Lazarus out from the dead. We are Lazarus, he believed in Him. Because he believed he had second life, because he believed he’s alive. If we believe we will be with the Father, Jesus will guide us there, on this path we walk with him today. AMEN
In today’s Gospel these words stuck out to me
“The one who comes from above is above all.”
these words are saying that God or “The one
who comes from above” Reigns over all the earth
and is our king from heaven. He is Fully Human
and Fully Divine.
We have a Father in heaven who radically loves us and His one greatest desire is for His children to be back with Him. He also says very strong words about the afterlife. We have to believe in the Son to enter eternal life. Afterlife is a radical belief. It is not something easy to believe in since all we know is our earthly life. Jesus asks us to trust in Him and be not afraid. He is here to teach us about our heavenly home.
“WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON HAS ETERNAL LIFE” JN 3:31-36
This saying in today’s Gospel really stuck out to me because in it I believe Jesus is trying to tell us that as long as we believe in Him he will be with us forever, but that if we don’t and push Him away, He cannot love us because we won’t love Him. The only way we can receive His love is by loving Him back.
These are cases when people are dead/unconscious for a few minutes, see a light.this line stuck out to me because even tho we die you can still see the light into gods kingdom that is crazy to think about.that this is all great but the light try to imagine what it looks like think hard but know matter how hard u think or imagine you just cant get it right that´s because god is the creator the original creator and his kingdom is like nothing we have ever seen before therefore you can not imagine the light.AMEN
“The gospels are not a myth or an entertaining fantasy novel.” Jesus calls us to live each day in preparation for the next. This changes the way we live out our lives to prepare with eternal glory with God in heaven. We know this because there is proof of Consciences after death, an example of this would be Jesus Christ’s resurrected body.
I like this Gospel because it talks about Jesus and us if we believe. I like the lines “He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.” I think its saying that if we believe his words and teachings then we trust God like we should. This Gospel can also prove how Jesus is almighty.
“Jesus rose from the dead.” Today God is telling me that He rose from the dead and yet some still don’t believe that He is God. He has done the most remarkable things any person has seen, and even did them in front of people for them to know He is God. Another thing is that we just have to believe. Some people don’t believe enough to find, and know Him. Others don’t try to even get close with Him and just care about what’s happening around them and they aren’t prepared for what happens after life. You have to put full effort if you want it, so don’t give up and keep our head up, then follow God for He is the way to good.
The thing that stood out to me was: “Jesus rose from the dead. This changes everything and should change the way we live each day for this life in preparation for the next.” this stood out to me because you should follow God with everything you have.
This scripture is reminding me that God is of course, the king of kings. But he loved us so much he gave his only son to suffer and die on a cross for our heavy sins and burdens. Even though all we know is our Earthly life, Jesus asks us to trust him. He preaches to everyone of us for us to get to heaven.
In today’s Gospel, It is proving that Jesus is God and that people don’t believe in Him. In the reading, the Apostles are teaching and healing in the name of God and some people don’t like that so they are arguing and the want to put the Apostles to death.
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life” I think jesus said this becuase he wants us to know oif we beivle we can go to heavan but we have to trust in him. We have to want to go to heavan God wants us to be there but in the end we make the chioce.
In today’s Gospel Jesus tells us that the one who comes from heaven is above all. Jesus tells us that if we do not believe that he is the one who was sent to save us, then the wrath of God shall be upon them.
I think God is telling us today that he is the highest authority. He must obey him because he matters. If obeying a person leads us away from God and his will for us we must not obey, because God matters more. Through Jesus we can do great things we just have to believe! Also today on May Crowning we should think about how Mary helped the apostles during this time.
I think the phrase talking about heaven “It is not something easy to believe in since all we know is our earthly life, our physical world.” Shows that Jesus is telling us that he knows its difficult to believe in heaven, he knows its difficult to believe in God but we need to put our faith in him. The verse John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Shows how much God gave to us, he sent his own son to be sent to death by humanity and the least we can do is believe in what he preaches.
Jesus is God. we have to trust in him even though we cant see heaven we have to trust in him and everything he says to us. Gospels are real things not makebleve stuff.he wants us to be with him forever.
It was telling me that the Bible is NOT a fantasy book or a novel of any sorts!
Something that stuck with me when I read this is that this isnt a novel or a fiction story this is all true and we should all give up everything that we are doing and put our eyes on the Lord the Lord that went on that cross took a horrible, tortuitus death and yet we still don’t pay attention to him we should be better stewards of God and we should learn to Love one another and that Jesus is real he isn’t from a fictional story this all happened in Real Life and yet people don’t believe in him even after all this evidence we have that he lived, he died, and he somehow came back from the dead like he said he would. also he fufilled so many phrofocies no human or person could ever do that only God could so something like that these are all amazing examples on how he is real and rose from the dead.
I think today’s Gospel is trying to tell us that we are blind without God which is why when we die and we start to meet God we gain vision and senses even though we are not alive. It is because through the Lord all things are possible.
One thing that stuck out to me today was when it said that he does not ration his spirit. The Lord gives all of us as much spirit and ability we want but we just have to use it. The Lord is waiting for us we have to answer. God is calling us in some way or another. Being born into Catholicism is one way that God is calling us he wanted us to be here. We are so lucky.
“He testifies to what he has seen and heard,
but no one accepts his testimony.
Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.”
When we accept what Jesus has said that means we trust God. But if we say no to it or if we don’t believe what he has said, then we deem God untrustworthy. Why? Why do we ignore Him? Why do we hide from HIm? Why? That’s the question. It’s because we take Him for granted. We say “Hey I need your help.” and when He helps you, you ignore Him, you don’t thank Him, you don’t realize that that one thing he did for you, was His love for you. And how do you repay Him? With ignoring Him. NO! If we need God’s help we ask for it and if he helps you we say thank you, or we praise Him. But we don’t ignore Him. We don’t continue with our lives once He helped you. Or if he doesn’t help you because you haven’t followed him, and you get mad at God, it’s not His fault! It’s yours. So praise Him. Thank HIm. And follow Him. HE loves you, He wants you here with Him. So follow Him.
God is above all and us people are very small in the world and that we are not God or anything like that.
“We have a Father in heaven who radically loves us and His one greatest desire is for His children to be back with Him. Choose wisely, belief begins in your heart and Christ reveals that we must believe in Him to enter eternal salvation.” He loves us so much and we have sinned against him, disobeyed him. and yet He still loves us so much. SO we need to be better about ourselves and be respectful to other people, be kind. Do not be hateful to other people. That’s not what God wants us to be. Be kind.
The one who comes from above is above all. This first sentence is a great statement. This sentence a big thing in our religion, Jesus is the greatest and he is important. We need to trust and love him. Never count Jesus out because he is always with us. Let’s all get to heaven together!
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, what this means to me is that God gives eternal life to us so why not believe because he has proven everything. We need to obey his teachings like the Ten commandment because everything he teaches is helping us get closer to God .
Jesus I the one above all! he is the one that controls everything and keeps everything safe and sound. Whoever believes in Jesus will go to eternal life with Him!
“But the one who comes from heaven is above all.
He testifies to what he has seen and heard,
but no one accepts his testimony.”
Why do we not accept his testimony? He has shown us so much evidence that he was real, and still is real.
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God remains upon him.”
Even if you don’t believe God still loves you even if you’re in hell, he will still love you. He will never stop loving.
Never stop believing or loving, if you do someday, you may end up in hell, or just forget about God forever.
When God says “The one who comes from above is above all.” What that means to me is that God is above everyone and no one else has higher rule of him. That means we cant make out video games or our phones the main center of our lives. We have to put God first and not be lazy and choose him because we know its the right thing to do.
The message that I got from today’s gospel is that if something is sent from God, it will be good. If something you find in your life makes you feel uneasy or anxious, it is not sent from God. Everything on Earth is good because God created it. The bad things in our lives are due to human mistakes and the falling away from God.
“The one who comes from above is above all.” This line stuck out to me because sometimes, we might think that we are better than everyone else, or that we have better things or personalities. But, the one who is “better” is Jesus! He has come from above, and has saved us from OUR sins that WE committed. Jesus is the source for us all. So in conclusion, Jesus is our better person. Nobody is better than anyone else, except for the Father of us all.
“The one who comes from above is above all.The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all.” I think that today, God is trying to tell me that Heaven is a place of purity and amazing things. Earth is a physical place (our home) that we consider home. Even though we feel like we live here we do not. We are meant for Heaven. It can be thought of like a school; you pass grades and learn things that are meant to prepare you for the next grade. Heaven is just like that.
“The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,” this stood out to me because the Gospel is saying that God has given everything to us, and His Son, but whoever doesn’t believe in Him and His Son, will never accept what has been given to him, and will never see the everlasting life promised to him.
Its telling me that when we are deciding whether or not we think Jesus is God or should we believe in this or that we need to give full trust to God and he will show us which one is right or wrong.
In today’s Gospel talks about Jesus and what He preaches about and where He came from.
I think that today in the Gospel God is telling us that we should totally devote ourselves to Him, and trust that He knows what is best for us. We should always try to be holy, no matter how many times we fail.
I think God is trying to tell me that He is above all. At the end of the day everything we do to be enveloped in God’s grace. We do all these good deeds and follow the commandments to obtain heaven. One key idea is that if we are not giving God our time and our attention then we can’t get there. If we are giving things like electronics all of our time and not spending any with our Savior, then how are we to get back to Him?
“Jesus rose from the dead. This changes everything and should change the way we live each day for this life in preparation for the next. It means this world is not all there is. It changes the way we live our life to prepare for the eternal world with God in all of his glory, no pain, suffering, sin, death, and brokenness.”
This really stuck out to me because if Jesus hadn’t risen from the dead nothing would’ve changed. we wouldn’t be here sitting in religion class, going to mass, atrium. instead we would’ve been sinning and sinning and sinning all over again and not going to confession. but instead he did raise from the dead so we can go to mass, confession, atrium, religion class, and more. we wont be sinning as much as we would’ve if he didn’t raise from the dead. we would’ve also been suffering but were not, we are living in peace and Glory with God!
In today’s Jesus tells us that the one who comes from heaven is above all. Jesus tells us that if we do not believe that he is the one who was sent to save us then the wrath of God shall be upon them.
“But the one who comes from heaven is above all.” This line stuck out to me because sometimes, we can get ahead of ourselves and start trying to take control of our own lives. It is important to always remember to put God first and let him take control . That is what I took away from this gospel.
People who believe will be saved. God has come to save us even the sinners. The father loves all of us and wants all of us to go to Heaven. I think heaven is a place of eternal worship and praise to God.
In the scripture is says “Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy.” To me that means that if we believe in the miracles and the gospel we believe in God and everything that we have been told.
Heaven: I think heaven is like a bright white place where Jesus is.
I think Jesus said this because he wants us to know of we believe we can go to heaven but we have to trust in him. We have to want to go to heaven God wants us to be there but in the end we make the choice. I think that Heaven is going to be like some place were there is eternal happiness and we will never be sad again
The Gospel speak’s of how we must follow god’s will for then we reach but if not we suffer the internal rage of hell.The one who comes from above is above all.Its telling me that when we are deciding whether or not we think Jesus is God or should we believe in this or that we need to give full trust to God and he will show us which one is right or wrong. I think Heaven is big, perfect, and just overall a healing place.
“But whoever disobeys the Son will not see life.” This stuck out to me today in the Gospel because if we don’t follow and preach the Lords’ word then we wont have eternal life with him or our loved ones. We should always trust in Gods word and never look down upon it.
What I think heaven will be like is calm and peaceful. There will be no original sin or any sin at all. I fell like it would be bloomin with flowers nonstop
The gospels are not a myth or an entertaining fantasy novel. When I hear the gospel, it sometimes sounds like an older version of a fairy tale. But all of the gospel is real. Also I think Heaven will be filled with water. It will be filled with light and angels waiting for us.
What I understood here is that believing is the first step to get to heaven is to believe that God and Jesus died on the cross for your sin.
I think heaven is a place where your greatest imagnations come true
In today’s Gospel, it is written “The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things.” To me, this means that God is above all and deserves all glory.
I think that it means that at the end, no matter what we believe, we will meet God at least once. Whether that be for judgement day or Heaven. We WILL meet Him eventually. I think Heaven is a beautiful place where you’re always happy.
In today’s gospel Jesus is saying that we are earthly people and we like earthly things. He comes from heaven so he loves heavenly things.
God will always hear our prayers. I think heaven will be like an amusement park on clouds in a park with lots of animals.
In today’s Gospel it is talking about how if you obey Jesus and follow his teachings you will make it to heaven but if you dont you the wrath of God will happen. I think Heaven is going to be a beautiful place where we can see the people who have passed and get to live with Jesus and God
in todays gospel jesus says he is above all and that who is is above is above all. now this doesn’t mean that jesus is farther off the ground no he has more power than us since he is from the father. however jesus doesnt use his power against us no. he uses it for us cause he loves us this is why we must follow him. we have a God who loves and cares about us.
“The one who comes from above is above all.” Jesus knew that he was above us, but he still came down to earth for us. I think heaven’s gonna be gold and everyone there will look like how we remember them.
In today’s Gospel, Jesus talks about Himself and what He does. Jesus came down from Heaven and Earth to save us from sin and to bring us back to Heaven. Earth is our physical home and Heaven is our spiritual home and Heaven is the home that we want to go to. I think Heaven is like a very very holy place. It looks like a place where we are with God and everyone else.
I think heaven is amazing no hurt can get to you Jesus is all around us there and he loves us and we love him it is a pretty clean place where you can be with your loved ones for forever
Today, the Gospel talks about how Jesus is above all. All people, all objects, ALL THINGS! The Gospel also states that if we believe in God, we will have eternal life, but if we do not believe in him, we will not receive eternal life.
I think Heaven is a very bright, cheerful, and beautiful place where everyone is happy, healthy, free of any pain, and talking to God and their loved ones.
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life” Belief in God is the most important thing we can do with our lives. Other sins are less serious, but if you don’t believe God is real and the person keeps on denying him, it seems like one of the worst sins. We need to help other people find God. Give others a chance to become united with God. Evangelize, repent, and pray.
I think Heaven is going to feel like the time I felt most connected to God when praying.
Jesus is trying to say that we have to believe in him to go to heaven. We have to trust him and not to be afraid. .Jesus loves us, He wants us here with Him in heaven.
To me God is talking about the afterlife. We need to do our best and follow Christ to make it to heaven. To me heaven is really cool and beautiful. And it will be one of the best times in your life. We always need to try our best to do God’s will and make it to heaven.
God loves us and we are his greatest desire and if we believe in the Lord we will have eternal life with him.
I think that this gospel shows how Jesus understands that it can sometimes be difficult to believe in heaven and God, but we need to have faith and believe that God is always by our side.
The Father loves us all. He doesn’t love someone more than someone else. Jesus is here for all of us. God’s love is unconditional and everlasting.
Most of us don’t see God ‘s love in us, but His love is with us. We are always caught up in the things that we do, whether that’s family or work. We never have time to appreciate the things that God has given to us. If you’re reading this, I want you to truly wake up and thank God for His sacrifice and His love.
“But the one who comes from heaven is above all” This part of the Scripture sticks out to me. God is all powerful. God is above everything in existence. He is not limited by time, abilities, space, or places. He calls for us to believe in Him, so that He can give us life.
“The one who comes from above is above all.” This part of the gospel stuck out to me because it shows that Jesus is above all. Jesus comes from above so this means he is above all. We should obey Jesus because he is who we want to spend the rest of our life with in heaven. I think heaven will be like an amazing place. I think it will be a very sacred place with lots of people and very happy and nothing bad will happen, a safe place.
Jesus is God. This is telling me that we need to trust him and that nothing he says is bad he just wants us to be the best one of us we can be. The bible is not a made up story or book. It is Jesus ´ life and his own words he says to us.
I think heaven will be peaceful.
I think God is telling us that in order to get to heaven we need to believe in him. If we believe in him and trust in him we will live eternaly with him.
This scripture says that whoever believes in God will be saved. What does it mean to believe in God because even the devil believes in God. It means that we have faith in Him, it means we love Him with all our heart above everything because he died for you. I think Heaven will be eternal peace and happiness with God, we will have a glorified body and there will be no stress or anxiety.
He also says very strong words about the afterlife. We have to believe in the Son to enter eternal life. Afterlife is a radical belief. It is not something easy to believe in since all we know is our earthly life, our physical world. Jesus asks us to trust in Him and be not afraid. He is here to teach us about our heavenly home. Also i took that the bible is not a fantasy book or novel or any sorts
I think heaven is going to be perfect. Everything is in its right place. No evil, no cruelness, nothing bad will ever be in heaven. It’s perfect union with Christ and God. It’s something you can’t even dream of.
The gospel shows how the apostles are sticking up for Jesus even though He is not physically there with them. They wanted to keep their promise to Jesus and continue to obey Him and preach His word. We are called to do the same, obey God, spread the gospel, and do His will and we will have eternal life with Him. I think heaven will be the calmest and most beautiful place. I think there will be true peace there and there will be so much love surrounding it.
I think heaven will be the greatest thing ever. We will have eternal life with God, no sins, and be free
What stuck out to me in today’s scripture is “But the one who comes from heaven is above all.” This stuck out to me because the one who comes from heaven is greater than us. Jesus is greater than all of us because he is the Messiah. This means that heaven is a great place to be after death. We should all try to get to heaven with the help of God.
Jesus came from heaven and was heavenly, but we know only the earth and are earthly. We do not know Jesus’ plans for our lives, we know only our plans for our life. But we need to let go of our plans and listen to the will of the Father, and make our plans into his plans so we can meet him in heaven. I think that heaven will be a joyful place. There will be constant rejoicing and praising, and it will be full of love, so full of love that you could feel like. And we would be safe and happy with God’s love surrounding and protecting us. And we would join the choirs of angels praising His name.
God is talking about how we need to follow in his footsteps. Jesus was the best example and quite literally THE example to get into heaven. God has a clear expectation for us to see and it is truly not hard to meet.
“We have a Father in heaven who radically loves us and His one greatest desire is for His children to be back with Him.”Choose wisely, belief begins in your heart and Christ reveals that we must believe in Him to enter eternal salvation. Christianity is the only religion that matures. It has a past, present, and future.
“We have to believe in the Son to enter eternal life.” To get to heaven is to believe in God, it’s not easy to do so, you could get bullied or just tempted by earthly life. Through God we can persevere and get to heaven, God said if you have faith as small as a mustard seed and you say move mountain, the mountain will move. God does amazing things and we can do amazing things by following God, serving him, and living like him, we will make our way to heaven and be with God for eternity
I think the gospel is trying to tell us is that Jesus did what he did for us. We had multiple people that wrote it down when he was alive. People saw what he did, people saw why he did it. Jesus saved us from the devil and he protected us. People witnessed the actions that Jesus did, the people he saved. He gave his life to protect us and to help us get to heaven. Let’s not let that go in vain.
From today’s Gospel, I liked the line “He does not ration his gift of the Spirit,” because I feel like that reflects Christ really well in his generosity. He is very giving and is always giving even when we don’t realize it. And the fact that he doesn’t ration a single bit of his gift of the spirit means that he out pours every ounce of love and mercy and every good thing that he wills onto us. I love thinking about that.m
I think Heaven will be perfect. More beautiful than we can ever imagine. I think I kind of imagine it like the Garden of Eden, a place where creation and creatures meet in a perfect and beautiful balance. But really I just imagine that it will feel like home because Jesus is there.
God gave us everything so the least we can do is thank Him for what He has done for us. Wake up and thank Him.
I think heaven will be a place where we will all one day be and live with God in everlasting life.
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.” Today in the Gospel Jesus tells us that if we believe in him we will have eternal life, but if we don’t believe in him then we will not see eternal life. Jesus tells us that no matter what, his love and compassion will forever be upon us. He will give us his mercy for as long as we live, but when we die and we have not followed his will for our lives, then we will have to pay the punishment for our sins. No matter what, Jesus will always love you.
I think Heaven will be amazing, colorful, joyful, and just happy. I think it will be overall beautiful.
I think heaven will be great with lots of people there. I think that heaven will be a great place to be at after death.
I think it is kind of saying that we are human and we speak of humanly things but someone who is from heaven is going to speak of heavenly things.
I think heaven will be like…. two big golden gates with walls surrounding the entire kingdom, a massive castle right in the middle of it, trillions of plants, animals playing with children no matter how scary the animal is, and God shining like the sun with Jesus to his right.
“Do not be amazed that I told you, ‘You must be born from above.’” Jesus doesn’t mean we literally need to be reborn as Niccodemus suggests, we need to be spiritually reborn or baptised. This rebirth comes from God, as Jesus says “What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of spirit is spirit.” So we can only be spiritually reborn by God.
I think heaven will be watching our lives on a big screen and asking God all our questions.
Heaven will be perfect unity with the Father who loves us. It won’t be boring, it won’t be quick-paced. It’ll just be peace in being with Him. There will be no more pain or suffering.
“but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life” Being Christian is not just about going to Church every Sunday and praising Jesus but it is about actually having a relationship with him. As it says in the scripture that “whoever disobeys the son will not see life,” we have to obey him and actually have a relationship with him to get in heaven. As a Christian we should always remember that being Christian is not just some kind of name tag for us but it shows that we have a relationship with Jesus that we have to cherish.
I think heaven will be similar to Earth with humans, animals, water, life, and nature but just with no evil.
He is saying that people from Earth cannot know about things that are higher than the Earth unless they know through Jesus. I imagine Heaven to be like Earth except for one thing, and that thing is that it will be perfect.
God is trying to tell us that his love is eternal. He will never not love us even if we don’t show that. He could never ate us and will never hold anything against us.
I think this Gospel reminds us that we should believe in Christ because God have us Jesus His only son. I think Heaven will be everything we’ve always wanted in our life. Just not earthly things but beautiful sights and having all the people we love around us including Jesus.
“WHOEVER BELIEVES IN THE SON HAS ETERNAL LIFE”. This stood out to me because Jesus says that if we believe in the son we will have eternal life in heaven.
I think heaven will look like a place where you can talk to your family, be calm, have peace, and not worry about suffering anymore.
I think that this shows how Jesus understands that it can sometimes be difficult to believe in heaven and God, but we need to have faith and believe that God is always by our side and that God loves us with his whole heart and we are his greatest desire and if we believe in the Lord we will have eternal life with him.
This gospel kinda refocused my priorities and it reminds me to put God first.Nobody would be here now if God hadn’t spoken are name into exsistence,he is all powerful
In today’s Scripture Jesus is telling me that we must always trust in him and his. Not be like all the people who declined what he said. We must believe in him and he will pave the way to Heaven and eternal life. The truths he speaks the things we must listen to. We must pay full attention and look for what he is trying to show us. He wants us to go heaven and he wants us to have eternal life. We must take advantage and take that immediately and put it in practice, also not procrastinate about it take initiative. I imagine heaven will like we have no worries there is no desire for sin, no temptation, no worries just you God and all the saints and angels.
Jesus is love. But what do we mean by saying that. Jesus is three divine persons in one. He loves each and every one of us for who we are not how we look. When we think of Jesus most think a big figure in the sky. But Jesus does not want to be seen as that. He can in a manger to be humble. When we think of him we should strive to be like him, that is how we will be granted eternal life.
What I think the Lord is trying to tell me is that heaven is the best place you could every go to and ever live in.
God wants us to go their and be with him and his apostles that spread the word among us and with are relatives and friends.
In this Gospel, God tells Nicodemus and us a powerful message. “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him,” He says. What does this mean? Simply, we must believe in God and the Son and the Holy Spirit. We must believe that Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, died on that cross so that he can rise again with his own power and open Heaven for us! We must not say that we believe in God, but act like we believe in God. We fear Hell, yet we sin and risk it. We must be more open to God’s call so that we can enter Heaven when our earthly life is over. We must believe and trust God that once we die, God will bring our soul and body together into our spiritual form in Heaven, which is a mirror of Earth. Heaven is paradise, so let us be willing to reach paradise through our actions, thoughts, and words in the name of God.
I think the gospel is talking about how God truly loves us and even tho he is above all he does whatever he can to make us the happiest he watches over from heaven and he tells us that if we are good we will have eternal life “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life” if we don’t believe in him truly we might not make it to heaven since no stain of sin can enter heaven.
“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,but the wrath of God remains upon him.” This stood out to me because it tells me how to achieve a perfect life with God in Heaven. We should take Jesus’s example and live within him and try to not disobey him. We should always seek eternal life and listen to his words. We should not doubt him and fully believe in him. Put your trust and respect within him and believe him with all your heart.
In the scripture it is talking about how we have heaven and God in our lives to be happy and to get to heaven because without God we don’t have it anything at all.
