Commentary
John 16: 20-26
God's Glory and Love
In this one short passage of the Gospel, we hear of God's love and glory.
In fact, these two qualities in certain sense is the same with God.
In the Gospel According to John, immediate after speaking these words, Jesus goes to the garden where he will be arrested. Then come the trial, passion, and crucifixion.
It is on the cross that Jesus reveals the depth of God's love. "There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends."
And that love is God's glory.
"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us, and we saw his glory, the glory as of the Father's only Son, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
This blog intends to provide readers an opportunity to be nourished by the Word of God. It invites readers to read, reflect and pray the Gospel passage that they will hear during the upcoming Sunday's Liturgy. With the commentaries provided, readers have the possibility of studying and meditating on the Word. Finally, readers are invited to share their reflections, thus creating an on-line lectio divina/faith sharing group, and so sustaining each other in the faith and the love for God's Word.
