What's the greatest thing we can aim for in this life? Is it not to know God personally as our Father and Redeemer? What is the best thing we can possess in this life, bringing more joy, contentment, life and happiness, than anything else? Is it not true knowledge and understanding of who God is and what kind of relationship He wants to have with us? Scripture tells us the greatest thing we can know and possess is true knowledge of God.
Jesus makes it possible for each of us to personally know God as our heavenly Father. To see Jesus is to see what God is like. In Jesus we see the perfect love of God ⏤ a God who cares intensely and who yearns over men and women, loving them to the point of laying down his life for them upon the Cross. Jesus is the revelation of God ⏤ a God who loves us unconditionally, unselfishly and perfectly ⏤ without neglecting or forgetting us even for a brief moment.
This is the 1461st installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings.
[NOTE: As we continue to pray for Bro Bong Arjonillo’s healing and recovery, let us listen to our brother Solphie Confiado as he brings us today's reflection.
All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives. This video is also available on Couples for Christ’s Facebook page. In You Tube, just type ONLY BY GRACE REFLECTIONS]
