First reading Acts 5:27-33

We are witnesses to all this, we and the Holy Spirit

When the officials had brought the apostles in to face the Sanhedrin, the high priest demanded an explanation. ‘We gave you a formal warning’ he said ‘not to preach in this name, and what have you done? You have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and seem determined to fix the guilt of this man’s death on us.’ In reply Peter and the apostles said, ‘Obedience to God comes before obedience to men; it was the God of our ancestors who raised up Jesus, but it was you who had him executed by hanging on a tree. By his own right hand God has now raised him up to be leader and saviour, to give repentance and forgiveness of sins through him to Israel. We are witnesses to all this, we and the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.’
  This so infuriated them that they wanted to put them to death.
 

Responsorial Psalm 33(34):2,9,17-20

This poor man called and the Lord heard him.
or
Alleluia!
 
I will bless the Lord at all times,
  his praise always on my lips;
Taste and see that the Lord is good.
  He is happy who seeks refuge in him.
 
This poor man called and the Lord heard him.
or
Alleluia!
 
The Lord turns his eyes to the just
  and his ears to their appeal.
They call and the Lord hears
  and rescues them in all their distress.
 
This poor man called and the Lord heard him.
or
Alleluia!
 
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted;
  those whose spirit is crushed he will save.
Many are the trials of the just man
  but from them all the Lord will rescue him.
 
This poor man called and the Lord heard him.
or
Alleluia!
 

Gospel Acclamation 

Alleluia, alleluia!
Christ has risen, he who created all things,
and has granted his mercy to men.
Alleluia!
 

Or: Jn20:29

Alleluia, alleluia!
‘You believe, Thomas, because you can see me.
Happy are those who have not seen and yet believe.
Alleluia!
 

Gospel John 3:31-36 

The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to him

John the Baptist said to his disciples:
‘He who comes from above is above all others;
he who is born of the earth is earthly himself
and speaks in an earthly way.
He who comes from heaven
bears witness to the things he has seen and heard,
even if his testimony is not accepted;
though all who do accept his testimony
are attesting the truthfulness of God,
since he whom God has sent
speaks God’s own words:
God gives him the Spirit without reserve.
The Father loves the Son
and has entrusted everything to him.
Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life,
but anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will never see life:
the anger of God stays on him.’

Reflection
Acts 5:27-33, John 3:31-36

“Faith in Jesus brings us to eternal life”
“Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life…”. Eternal life is the life of God. The good news is that the one who places his/her faith in Jesus “has” eternal life. This is because eternal life does not start after death, but this life of God in us begins here and now with the response of faith. Thus, we need to ask ourselves: Do we believe in Jesus, the one who has come to reveal God’s love? If we truly believe, how do we respond to Him?

Believing in Jesus is not simply reciting the creed or fulfilling external obligations. True faith demands that we need to live it out in our daily life by allowing Jesus to impact and affect the way relate to family and friends, to the entertainment and hobbies we enjoy, to the efforts we stand in solidarity with the poor and those suffering from injustice, etc. Let us start to actively live our faith so that we can begin to enjoy eternal life here and now.

Question for reflection:
What does it mean for me to have eternal life?

Renungan

Kisah Para Rasul 5:27-33, Yohanes 3:31-36

“Iman akan Yesus membawa kita kepada hidup yang kekal”
“Sesiapa percaya kepada Anak, ia beroleh hidup yang kekal…”. Kehidupan kekal adalah kehidupan Allah. Khabar baiknya adalah sesiapa yang meletakkan imannya pada Yesus ‘mempunyai’ hidup kekal. Ini kerana hidup kekal tidak bermula selepas kematian tetapi kehidupan Tuhan di dalam kita bermula di sini dan sekarang dengan tindak balas iman. Oleh kerana itu, kita perlu bertanya kepada diri kita: Adakah kita percaya kepada Yesus yang datang untuk mengungkapkan kasih Tuhan? Jika kita benar-benar percaya, bagaimana kita dapat memberi tanggapan kepadaNya?

Percaya kepada Yesus bukan hanya sekadar mengulangi doa aku percaya atau memenuhi kewajipan luaran. Iman sejati menuntut kita untuk menghidupi hidup seharian kita dengan membenarkan Yesus menguasai dan mempengaruhi cara kita berhubungan dengan keluarga dan rakan-rakan, dengan hiburan dan hobi yang kita nikmati, dengan usaha yang kita lakukan untuk mempunyai solidariti dengan orang-orang miskin dan mereka yang menderita kerana ketidakadilan dan sebagainya. Marilah kita mula dengan aktif menghidupi iman kita sehingga kita mula menikmati hidup kekal di sini dan di saat ini.

Soalan renungan:

Apakah ertinya bagi saya memiliki hidup kekal?

Kereja Rasul 5:27-33; John 3:31-36

“Pengarap dalam Jesus mai kitai ngagai pengidup ti meruan. “
“Barang sapa arapka Anak, bulih pengidup ti meruan belama iya…”. Pengidup meruan nya meh pengidup Allah Taala. Berita manah ka kitai ti arap dalam Jesus deka “bulih” pengidup meruan belama iya.

省思
«宗五:27-33»
«若三:31-36»

” 相信耶稣带给我们永生”
“任何人相信子的,便有永生……”。永生是天主的生命。 好消息是不管是谁把他/她的信仰放置在耶稣将 “拥有” 永生。 这永恒的生命不是死后才开始,而是这天主的生命在我们内就在这里和此刻开始当我们以信仰回应。 因此,我们需要自问:我们相信耶稣,一位彰显天主之爱的人吗? 如果我们真正相信,我们如何回应祂呢?

相信耶稣不仅是背诵信条或者实现信仰礼仪的义务。真正的信仰必须要求我们在日常生活中实现它,通过允许耶稣影响和指导我们与家人和朋友建立关系,在我们的娱乐和爱好所喜爱的,我们努力帮助那些穷人和团结一致的协助遭受不公正之苦的人等等。让我们开始积极地履行自己的信仰,这样我们就可以在这里和现在分享了永生的生命。

圣思题:
永生对我意味着什么?
