WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 3

THE GREATEST WITNESS

John 1:29-34

Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

John 1:29 (NRSV)

The synoptic gospels narrate the scene of Jesus’ baptism. But the Gospel of John gives us the testimony of John the Baptist about the baptism and his encounters with Jesus.

Sure words that he was the Christ, the Messiah expected by all and announced by the prophets is the greatest possible witness. It was revealed to him by God, and the dove as a sign of the Holy Spirit, which seals this reign of God as a kingdom of love, peace, justice and truth for a larger world.

Today, followers of Christ have to share and struggle so that this Kingdom becomes a reality for all people without exclusions. God invites us to make this the true meaning of the Church: to worship God and serve others.

 

Prayer: Our Father, may each day bring us your message to construct your Reign. Amen.

EL MEJOR TESTIMONIO

Juan 1:29-34

He aquĆ­ el cordero de Dios que quita el pecado del mundo.

Juan 29:6

Los evangelios sinĆ³pticos narran la escena del bautizo de JEsus. Mas el de Juan, nos da el testimonio de Juan el Bautista sobre el bautizo y sus encuentros con JEsus.

Palabras seguras de que era el Cristo, el Mesias esperado por todos y anunciado por los profetas. Es el mejor testimonio posible. Le fue revelado por Dios, y la paloma como sepal del Espiritu Santo, sella este reinado de Dios como un reino de amor, paz, justicia y verdad para un mundo mejor.

Hoy, a los seguidores de Cristo nos toca compartir y luchar porque este Reino se haga realidad para todas las personas sin exclusiones. Dios nos invita a que ese sea el verdadero sentido de la Iglesia: adorar a Dios y servir a los demƔs.

 

OraciĆ³n: Padre nuestro, que cada dia nos traiga tu mensaje para construir tu Reino. AmĆ©n.
