FIFTH WEEK OF LENT....... TUESDAY.... 12.4.11
JOHN 8:21-30.... " WHEN YOU HAVE LIFTED UP THE SON OF MAN, THEN YOU WILL KNOW I AM HE "
The Jews anticipated that Jesus is shortly going to crown himself King and so believed his words. Jesus was going to be "lifted up on the cross" and become the eternal king of our lives and hearts. The flesh craves sensual pleasures whereas our spirit longs for the peace of Christ.The call of the flesh is so insistent and so close whereas the call of the spirit is so feeble and so distant.We are aware of the dangers of the flesh but so easily yield to it. Only the Spirit of the resurrected Christ can come to our rescue.Only when we make efforts to flee the flesh can the Spirit of Christ work in our wills and draw us to himself. Meanwhile let us keep praying for the infilling of God's grace.
God bless.
