Prayer Prompt before reading JN 3:7-15: 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.
“IF I TELL YOU ABOUT EARTHLY THINGS AND YOU DO NOT BELIEVE, HOW WILL YOU BELIEVE IF I TELL YOU ABOUT HEAVENLY THINGS?” JN 3:7-15
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
Jesus teaches us today that we are made for a spiritual world. God, our Father, is pure spirit. What does that mean? I suggest you read books about heaven and NDE (Near Death Experiences). The most interesting are NDE’s of the blind who actually can see and have never seen before. My favorite is “Proof of Heaven” by a neurologist who knows how the brain works and was not much of a spiritual person until he had his NDE.
Read the parables. Jesus tells us, “the Kingdom of heaven is like….”. The parables are mainly about God’s love and forgiveness for His people. God’s love is very different than ours. It is limitless. It is radical. It is unreasonable. It is permanent and never ending. God the Father always wills our good. Anything bad that happens to us is a result of sin, evil, and Satan.
Don’t forget Jesus’ body is the first physical thing to enter into the spiritual realm. Mary’s body the second. After the Second Coming, the physical and spiritual will be made anew. Jesus marries these two worlds through His Death and Resurrection. The body of Jesus mechanically changed and became a Spiritual body shown in the latest evidence on the Shroud of Turin leaving behind a 3D image on a 2D linen cloth. There is no other image in history like it. God the Father and Son’s Holy Spirit lives on in us if we are baptized and confirmed. What does this mean for your? How empowering is this for you?
Today’s challenge: Take time today to reflect on heaven. What does it really mean to have a spiritual homeland? This is a hard belief that takes knowledge, understanding, and God’s grace to increase our faith! Only He can reveal it and testify to it. How should this change the way you live your life?
Be a servant, become a saint!
