Lenten Reflection - March 30, 2012

Then they said to Him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent."
John 6:28-29


Jesus is asked by a group of people that either had witnessed or heard about the feeding of the five thousand, "What exactly does God want us to do?" His response is to have faith in the one that God has sent. That seems simple enough, but it does have an underlying message. Believe in Jesus, follow him, live the example he has set forth, love our one true God and love each other. If we open our hearts and minds to this we will do the works that God wants us to do. They will be loving, giving, helping, and faithful acts that will please Him. Believe.
