Educated in the ways of God

 John 6:44-51


The Ethiopian replied to Philip who questioned whether he understood what he was reading, "How would I know unless someone guides me?"

This is where we come in in the whole story of humankind's salvation - to teach others God's ways and truth.

In the Gospel, the intention of God is crystal clear - "They will always be taught by God."

Educating people toward Jesus will naturally come to Him, "And they will come to me."  They will not be afraid. 

Coming to Him also implies a change our life and outlook; all people living virtuous lives are always coming closer to Jesus and are patterning their lives after him.

Finally, our education should lead us to see the Father in heaven, "Anyone who sees Jesus has seen the Father."

Let us allow ourselves to be educated by Jesus himself by receiving him as the bread of life.  We shall live forever.
