RADIO OR TELEVISION

Fulton Sheen used to compare the Old Testament to radio, and the New Testament to television. In the Old Testament, you could hear the word of God, but in the New Testament, it was the word of God in living color!

This is a gigantic step forward, “He who see me, sees the Father,” says Jesus (Jn 14:9). Jesus came “to do and teach” (Acts 1:1). He showed us what to do by what he himself did, and then he taught us what to do.

Dear friends as we are disciples and followers of Jesus we need to do what He has taught us with His very life. We do hear the word of God daily but what is our attitude towards it? Do we try to live it according to the word of God that we hear daily  in the Holy Eucharist? If not, dear friends it never to late to do so.

v    “I have shown you by my example … you now do as I have done”. (Jn 13:15)

v    It is very important to believe and to know that Jesus is the fullness of God’s revelations – there’s nothing more we need to know.

v    Some people listen to Jesus, but imagine there’s another God “up there somewhere” – usually with a notebook and long white beard – and God is not be trusted at all.
