5th Sunday of Easter

 

Have Faith! Jn. 14:1-12

He’s leaving!

The One who fed the 5,000

The One who calmed the wind and the waves.

The One who who healed the sick.

The One who filled our nets to overflowing and told us to follow Him,

Is leaving us.

And now He telling us that this is His Last Supper

And after this, He is leaving us.

Now what are we going to do?

The disciples were distraught.

And Jesus said to them;

“Do not let your hearts be troubled.”

Have Faith!

Do you ever feel like the disciples?

As if Jesus has left you and you are all alone.

When The storms and problems and sufferings of life are overwhelming.

And the One who who calmed the wind and the waves is no where to be found.

Have Faith!

Faith calms the storm.

Faith runs the race

Faith fights the good fight.

Faith moves mountains.

But it must be a Faith in God and in Jesus.

Not in money because money runs out.

Not in power because we all are helpless at one time or another

Not even in ourselves because we all have limitations to what we can do.

Have Faith in Jesus.

For if we Have Faith in Jesus

No storm can shake our inmost calm.

While to that rock we’re clinging.

Since Love is Lord of Heaven and Earth.

How can we keep from signing.
