Jesus speaks about the identity between himself and the Father and asserts that he who receives him receives the Father.Those who don't honor the Son will not be honorng the Father.These words were addressed to the Jews who refused to commit themselves to Jesus.
We often blame the Jews for not accepting Christ. But what about us?We have accepted Jesus as our Savior but very often in our lives , in our day to day activities, we refuse to lead a life according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. We act as if we never heard of Jesus.We remain stuck in our old habits---arrogant, selfish, hateful, depressed, angry , lustful etc.There is no change happening in our lives because of our faith in Jesus.That means our commtiment is very shallow and peripheral.
Today God has given another opportunity to deepen our comitment to Him and make changes in the way we think and live.
Lord, make me a new person.By my efforts, I cannot make changes in my life. I am a fallible, frail human being, always failing from being faithful to my commitment. I need your grace to support me.Be my rock.Give me the strength to follow you. Don't pay any attention to my failures. I am weak and fragile.Come to my aid.
