In this Sunday’s Gospel, we are reminded that John the Baptist proclaimed, “Look, there is the lamb of God!” With these words, he boldly identified Jesus as the Chosen One of God, the Messiah.
This was John’s mission: to be the steadfast voice crying out in the wilderness and a guiding finger pointing directly to Jesus.
We are also invited to reflect on the example set by John the Baptist. We must ask ourselves, “What about me? In my daily life, do I actively draw attention to Jesus?”
Here, at Landings, we actually have a simple tool for this! It’s called your faith story. We’ve all been through a 10-week run where we tell and listen to faith stories. Continue to build on these and share them with your friends and family when the time is right.
It’s not about you. It’s not about how, if things turned out well, how resourceful or clever you are, but point to the God-moments. How did God get you through a rough patch?
Of if you are still struggling with an issue, how is God sustaining you through this period.
Our lives reflect our creator. So feel free to share them with the people he put in our lives.
Like John the Baptist, may our lives encourage others to follow Jesus and lead purposeful lives.
