Daily Bible Reflections - April 17, 2012


IS IT YOURS?

“So that everyone who believes in me will have eternal life.” – John 3:15
In American football, if the quarterback throws the ball to one of his teammates, and the receiver caught it only with his hands and it falls to the ground, it is ruled as an incomplete pass. But if the receiver, with both feet within the inbounds of the playing field, caught the ball and hugged it closely to his chest for a number of seconds before he was tackled to the ground by his opponents and he loses the ball, he is declared to have possession of the ball. The receiver must demonstrate to have possession for it to be declared a complete pass.
The same is true with our faith. Anybody can call Jesus his Savior, sing about it every day or write poems about it. But unless he has a personal encounter with Jesus saving him, then the Jesus he knows will be no different than the icon on his altar. Oswald Chambers wrote, “Faith must be tested because only through conflict can head faith be turned into a personal possession.”
The faith that you have is your own. If you don’t have it, then you can’t share it. Only Jesus, through the power of the Holy Spirit, can really make you believe the things written about Him at certain times in your life that He has appointed.Ronna Ledesma (ronnaledesma@email.com)

REFLECTION:
Always be excited in the midst of a trial because God is about to reveal Himself to you again in a different way.
My Jesus, there is nothing in this world that can ever steal from my heart the knowledge that You are my Shepherd.
Blessed Katéri Tekakwitha, virgin, pray for us.
