Mediator

Thursday of the 3rd week of Eastertide

John 6:44-51

In the first reading, the eunuch was baptized because Philip the Apostle gave him an instruction based on his testimony of Jesus. 

In the Gospel, Jesus presented himself as the "Bread of Life": "He who eats this bread will live forever."

We need a mediator.  A mediator is one who intervenes between two entities.  Definitely, Jesus is the Mediator between God and man; he intercedes on our behalf and leads us to the Father.

The eunuch had not seen Jesus; but he was moved to faith because of Philip who mediated so that the eunuch's faith in God would come to life.  Philip mediated for the eunuch's conversion.  What is our role then in the salvation of all of God's beloved children?

First, let's pray that we may respond to Jesus' call to evangelize others. 

Second, let us use our concrete time, talent, and treasure to be Jesus' bread of life to others.

Third, let us accept Jesus' presence fully in our lives and reflect him to others.
