Message from Fr. John Chrysostom Tibakunirwa, Pastor
|
Joshua in the final two Chapters is having a farewell celebration. He recounts the experience God has been fighting Israelite enemies and now the land is their own. Joshua is asking them about their looking forward. Joshua as Moses' replacement declares that he and his folks choose the Lord. The people reply that they too know their history and they are sticking with the winner who has made them victorious themselves.
|
|
In the Gospel we have reached the great conclusion of the discussion about Jesus being the bread of life and being the one sent. Many leave on hearing this but some stay including Peter. So, Jesus puts the big question to them and Him. Do you also want to leave? As with Joshua, Peter professes that they have seen enough to TRUST WHAT THEY CAN NOT SEE WITH THE EYES OF THE FLESH. We in our times we believe with our conscience, JESUS is OUR SAVIOR.
