Education That Leads to Divine Truths

Bible portion: St. John 14:5-14

Key Verse: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (St. John 14:6)
  

Devotion
In this passage, Jesus proclaims, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." This statement stresses that Jesus is not simply coaching us on the right path; rather, He is the path in our life. When Jesus uses the term "Truth," He is referring to the ultimate, unchanging reality that can only be found in Him. The word "Life" tells us about an eternal and abundant life bestowed through Christ, offering us hope and fulfillment.
Friends, this passage teaches us that when we learn it is not just about cultivating knowledge but about aligning our learning with Jesus, the unwavering source of hope, strength and eternal life. All we learn is in and through Christ and should guide us along the path that leads to the ultimate reality of who He is, offering us profound hope and reassurance in His unchanging nature.
May what we learn not be for an accumulation of knowledge for medals and worldly praise but a transformative journey towards Christ. Let it continue to lead us towards God and have the power to profoundly change our lives and help us enrich the world with Jesus, the way, truth, and the light.
 
PRAYER
 
 : Great God, as we learn, may our hearts be set towards Your truth and life. Guide us in our journey to know You more deeply. Amen.

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind wh...

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tel...

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things...
