Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary.
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.
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.
For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God.
He does not ration his gift of the Spirit.
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
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. 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 is a preparation for the next.
“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
Choose wisely, belief begins in your heart and if you don’t believe in something you will fall for everything. 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.
Be a servant, become a saint!
#Christian YOLO
God sent his only son down for us and we must believe in him and his teachings in order to have eternal life.
Jesus is telling us today in scripture to trust in Him. He says “Do not be afraid.” So we need to trust in God that he will take us where He wants us to go in life, so that we can be happy.
If the people don´t believe in Him then they won´t get to see Him in Heaven.
We should always trust and believe in God.
We need to trust in God and His plan for us. He has given us hope and faith that we can believe in all that He teaches us. Trust in the Lord!!!!!!! 🙂
God is above all. He died for us yet we do not accept it or thank him for it. At times we fail to remember God is with us. Whoever disobeys our God shall not see life. Believe in God and we shall have eternal life.
It means that you should always trust in God and that there is a heavean.
Jesus is revealing to us that we need to put God before everyone else because he is above all.
Be one with God and belive and trust in Him and you will be able to make it to Heaven with Him
I learned that Jesus is here to help us learn. He is here tho help us find ourselves in the world and tell us everything is ok.
Great job, Mr. Goertz! Your scripture reflections are amazing. It isn’t easy believing but we have to to enter eternal life. God wants what is best for us. Keep up the good work!
The passage really makes you think. When I first read it, It sounded like a set of rules for us to follow, especially with that last line. In reality it is showing us God is above all that we face, no matter how hard things get, we just have to believe in Him.
We nee to always turn to God for help and trust in him because it says, “Whoever believes in God has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the son will not see life.” By trusting in him you will become closer to him and go to heaven.
The Gospels are there to show and teach us about our Faith. We should take them seriously and take time to read and meditate on them.
We must believe in the after life because jesus will judge us and in after life, on earth is where we make our decisions on if we spend it with him or with the devil.
Jesus is telling me that I should not care what others thing when I am doing the right thing. If I do the right thing I will forever live with him.
Jesus has given himself up for us and all of our sins and it was only worth it if we believed in him and some of us do and some of us do not believe in the lord our God Jesus Christ lord and savior alpha and omega.
Jesus is telling us to have full trust in Him. He is telling us that something greater than this life will come.
If you fully devote yourself to God you will receive eternal life in Heaven with him. You will receive his gifts and mercy. Either you believe in God or you don’t. One option or the other.
This is telling me that I need to pray more to Jesus and open my heart to him. So that I can become closer to him.
if you follow Jesus you will make it to heaven
We must believe in God if we want to go into heaven and we need to watch our words and actions to get there.
To me this is telling me about Jesus’ life because Jesus came from above and is greater than all.
this is telling us that we need to be patient and not just wait for God but to pray to him.
What this is about is its talking about not being scared of after lifes. You don´t ever want to be scared because god is right there next to you when ever you need right by your side. An after life is happiness because you dont have to deal with all the sin the sin in the world.
He came to teach about our heavenly home. We all have to believe that he is the true son of God. Our afterlife is going to be amazing because we get to see him and be with him for eternity. God has given us everything so we need to give time to him in return. We all have to be like Nicodemus who believed that he was the Messiah even if others don’t believe.
I really enjoyed how you added in the proof at the end, it’ll help those who don’t believe.
We will always have have a spot next to god in 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.
God is saying to Nicodemus that if you don’t believe in God’s word you won’t have any life but if you believe, then you will have eternal life and be born again.
Submit yourself humbly to God, not my will be done but thy will be done.
God wants us to trust him in everything we do, say, or think
This it telling me to push myself to be holy and listen to God and his word.
This is the way that Jesus treats us that if we sin a mortal sin and dont confess is then we shall go to Hell and live a life of eternal damnation but if we do follow the Lord and we listen to Him then we will follow Him into Heaven and live a life of eternal happiness with the Lord. We must also allow our selves to accept what the Lord says as truth about what He has seen and heard.
This is telling us that God is above all and we should follow him with our whole self so that we may rejoice in the vast embrace of heaven
God wants us to trust him in everything we do
Today I think God is trying to remind us of the 1st Commandment, that we should put God first in all that we do. That we should spend less time on electronics and more time with Him in prayer.
Jesus is saying that he is the one that everyone is waiting for even though many don’t think that is true because he isn’t like a big king.
We should always trust God and he should be he center of our life because he has given us everything.
Jesus is telling me that the only way I can be saved is by believing and following Him, and if I don’t I will suffer for etternity
I learned that Jesus said “That the one who comes from heaven is above all”
Jesus is our life and our savior and we should love him and we should be willing to give up our life
god knows what it fills like to lost some one so you are not alone.
If you want to see god then you must do the good and do what is right rather then doing wrong.
We need to believe in God and trust in him. He is not fake he is real. We need to put God above us and not other destactions before him. We is the way, the trust and the life. We can always go and talk to him because he is real and there and he cares for us and about us. we need to go to him more about are problems and not to other to make a bigger problem.
I think that the passage means to me is that god is all everyday.
who is in heaven is the highest
I know that i can always go back to God no matter what He will be there.
Explaining show God is are almighty Father and Creator and Jesus and explaining what He has given us
This tells me to believe in God more and more in his son Jesus Christ
All you have to do is trust in the lord and put all your fears on him and he will comfort you. Just like he said to Nicodemus, sell all your posossesions and give them to the poor. Remember to live your life modestly and chastly.
Jesus shows us how to get to heaven because he loves us and wants us to be there with him
To believe is not always to see. You have to trust in God like we trust our own family or selves. But even if we do all, you have to accept, learn to accept and things will change.
We should always believe in God even if there are some bums along the way. We also shouldn’t be afraid to go and tell the good news. We should always know and believe he has our back, because he does.
God gives us everything we need to e happy and live. He is above all and we are on earth to do his will and love him.
God wants use to turn from our evil ways and follow him
We all need to believe Jesus has rise
that you should trust in god
I feel like the gospel is asking me to pray more
jesus is saying to trust him and he will guide us where we need to go and he can take us there.
God wants us to know how much he loves us and for us to love him just as much. 🙂
I believe that Christ is with me forever. Without Christ, I wouldn’t be alive. Christ is the light of my life and I need him everyday.
Jesus is teaching me that God is always first in our lives and no matter what should be our number one priority.
We don’t need to see god to believe for god says blessed be unto those who believe but have not seen so let us believe just as god would and be faithful and trust is word
Jesus is revealing himself to us, and we need to appreciate that. Without him we would be nothing. He is trying to lead us to Heaven, but we don’t always listen. Why? because we’re human, God made us with our own “imperfections” we all make mistakes, but we all need to learn from them. Listen to Him!
I believe that Jesus is showing us that not all Jews did’t believe in Jesus.
Jesus is telling us to trust in him no matter what he says just trust in him and the Holy Spirit
he says do not be afraid and we must do what he calls us to do. cause we must carry our cross.
Today the scriptures are telling us that if you believe he will be there and that there is a Heaven. And it is there for us to meet him one day. HE LOVES US!!!
Jesus tell nicodemus he must be reborn, and nicodemus is confused, what Jesus meant was that he had to give his life and follow him, and that is how we all will get to heaven
