Wondrous Call!

Posted on March 30, 2007 by Fr. Jos+

Very truly I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do – John 14: 12

When we believe in Jesus we believe in our redemption. While it invites us to a personal experience of redemption it also calls us to make that experience experiential to others. Faith becomes no more a matter of personal experience any longer. Redemption no longer is individual, but collective and communitarian.

Our faith will make us people of great potential. Our personal proclamation of faith in Christ makes that potential real and active so that we may begin the work of Our Lord. Anyone who believes in Christ is called to do what Christ did, that is to bring healing, wholeness, compassion, kindness, love, forgiveness, acceptance and all such on one side while being steadfast in Godly things become challenging, repentant, forgiving and courageous on the other.

When your redemption becomes actualized, life will become powerful, not because of the wondrous things you to, but the wondrous person you turned out to be.

Strive for this when we commemorate the days when Christ became a wondrous person even for his enemies.

True Religion

What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6: 8 (The New Revised Standard Version)

Right Worship

Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That's the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship. - John 4: 24 (The Message Bible)

Living Faith

What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?... If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,” and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? - James 2: 14-16 (NRSV)
