Tuesday of the 3rd week of Eastertide

witnessing for Jesus

John 6:30-35

St. Stephen mirrored Jesus in the gospel for today as he faced the Pharisees.   What is a witness?  Someone with a deep faith, even though he has not seen Jesus is a true witness as he is also giving witness to the very testimony of Jesus himself.  What are the signs to this testimony?

First, Stephen gave witness to the truth as he tried to reprimand the Jews.  Jesus is faithful to the truth.

Second, Stephen gave witness to the glory of Jesus.  Jesus invites the people to have faith in him as the bread of life.

Third, Stephen prayed for his enemies.  Jesus' as the humble Messiah is the way to the forgiveness of sins.

Let us mirror Jesus through and through!
