‘If you make my word your home you will indeed be my disciples, you will learn the truth and the truth will make you free.’ They answered, ‘We are descended from Abraham and we have never been the slaves of anyone; what do you mean, “You will be made free”?’ Jesus replied: ‘I tell you most solemnly, everyone who commits sin is a slave. Now the slave’s place in the house is not assured, but the son’s place is assured. - John 8:31-37
Jesus explains how His Word is the Truth that frees us to live as His faithful disciples . How receptive and serious are we when we hear God’s Word proclaimed? Are our hearts truly open or are we disinterested and thus, continue to live in our secular ways?
Today's reflection taken from Fr Philip Heng's Reflection of the Word.
