Whom Do You Seek (Acts 2:36-41/Jn.20:11-18)

This was the question that Jesus put to Mary when she came looking for Him at the tomb. She was deeply troubled after the death of Jesus, but because of the love she has for Him, she went to the grave to see the Body of Jesus that was buried in the tomb, but she met the Living Christ who has risen.

The story shows us that if we seek Jesus with our whole heart we will surely find Him. Jesus is alive and not dead, therefore if we are going to seek Him it must be with our whole heart and we must seek Him among the living and not among the dead.

The truth is that many of us are seeking so many things unreal and that cannot bring any good to us. Most times we seek them to the detriment of our faith and in extreme cases we are lost in the search of that which is anti-Christ.

Jesus called Mary and she recognised His voice at once. When we seek Jesus with our whole  heart we will find Him and when we find Him He will call us by name and we will be able to hear his voice and carry out the instructions He gives us.

We must seek the Lord while He may be found and we must do the needful when we find Him. We must let Him speak to us and we must listen and obey His  commands. If what you are seeking is not Christ like or Christ Himself, please turn around, change your course and begin to seek Jesus, for He is risen and by the power of His resurrection we can conquer all things.
Take time and answer this question honestly, whom do you seek? or what do you seek? If what you seek does not have a link to God you can never find lasting fulfilment, but if it is in line with what God wants, then you will find fulfilment. Make it your target today to go seeking  Jesus and be rest assured that you will find Him, for everyone who seeks will find.

Let us pray: Lord Jesus,  Help me to sincerely seek you with my whole heart and when I do may I find you and be ready to do what you will. Amen.

Witnessing Without Fear of Persecution (Acts 5:17-26/Psalm 34/John 3:16-21)

For every baptised Christian, we have a responsibility to witness for the Most Blessed Trinity in whose name we have been baptised. By virtue of our baptism we have become chosen witnesses of Jesus. In baptism we received the Holy Spirit which made us children of God; and as God's  children, we are part of a very closely knitted family that we need to stand by always. Today we read about two apostles who were not afraid to be witnesses. Being witnesses earned them imprisonment. But as we know, the work of God must go on. God is able to remove obstacles that stand on the path of the Gospel. Hence they were set free from prison by a miracle and went straight back into witnessing. We have to accept the fact that there will always be opposition to the preaching of the Gospel and persecution for those who try to witness with their lives. We have to make up our minds to be determined to be bold and not afraid. When the trials and persecutions come, we take them with a cheerful h...

Let The Resurrection Witnessing Begin (Acts 10:34,37-43/Ps.118/Col.3:1-4/Jn.20:1-9)

"In those days: Peter opened his mouth and said, You know the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after Baptism which John preached: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power and he went about doing good and healing all that were possessed by the devil,  for God was with Him" Acts 10:34,37-38 Today, is the Sunday of the Resurrection and there is joy everywhere, because Jesus is risen and was not held bound by the force of the grave and death. We have been waiting for this day as we practiced our lenten observances and today Joy has taken over the atmosphere because He who was killed and buried has risen as He said He will do. we see that by the power of the resurrection the apostles became witnesses to the events about the life of Christ. They proclaimed His name to all those who were listening to them. This is simply our responsibility as we rejoice and give praise to God for letting His only begotten ...
