Tuesday 5th Week of Lent

 

Where are you from? Jn. 8:21-30

When people ask you, where are you from?

People usually respond by saying where they were born.

As Jesus tells the Pharisees that He is from Above!

Since He is from above, He speaks of the things of heaven and not of the things of earth. 

And since the Pharisees are from below,

They do not understand Him, for they are concerned only with the things of earth.

Where are we from and what concerns us?

Are we from above?

Are we concerned with the things of heaven?

Or are our roots in this world?

And are we  more concerned with the things below?

St. Paul tells us, "Set your hearts on the things that are above, where Christ is seated at God's right hand!"

St. Paul said this, because he knew where he was from and where he was going.
