21st Sunday - B (August 22, 2021)

 

“We have come to believe”

John 6: 60-69

 

Like Peter, we believe that Jesus has the words of eternal life. 

 

At the same time, Peter’s words “We have come to believe” remind us that faith is a journey.  Like Peter and the rest of the Twelve, there are times our faith is strong, other times, we falter. 

 

To grow in faith, we must give Jesus time to speak to us.  We must give him space to speak to us in our hearts.  We must give ourselves time to listen to Jesus in prayer and silence, and to read and reflect on his words in Scriptures.

 

In the age of explosion of information, with smart phones, social media, text message, etc., we probably need to be even more intentional in this important aspect of our communication with Jesus so as to live by his words of eternal life.
