Giving witness to God

January 2

John 1:19-28

Happy New Year 2020!

How do we make alive the Holy Trinity and the work of God in our lives?

The knowledge of God is born out of intense experience of faith.

St. John gave testimony to the coming of Jesus.  When was the last time we gave witness to God?

The revelation of God started with the history of the call of Israel to be "God's people".  The experience of sin even in Israel continued till the time of Jesus.  His resurrection is witnessed by many.  His ascension to heaven was witnessed by many.  St. Paul said, "If Jesus did not rise from the dead, our faith is totally useless."

Yes, we are witnessing to the resurrection of Jesus.  We also aim for the resurrection of our lives.  We are giving witness to the end of sin and sinful inclinations only in Jesus.  So, how do we make the work of God alive in our hearts?  Through the practice of daily life - when we are forgiven of our sins, when we practice forgiveness and not arrogance or pride;  when we give witness to poverty, chastity and obedience each day. We are giving witness to the power of Jesus to save us each day.

We pray that we may manifest more the power of faith to change us only in Jesus Christ through the practice of being Church.
