Gospel Sentence
“…these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)
Reading
“Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:30–31)
Meditation
All of holy scripture points to the source of our salvation, Jesus Christ. Knowing the words does not save us. The Christian faith is not merely a set of facts, rules and objectives to memorize. The Christian faith is a person—Jesus Christ. This Christ brings us life, peace and salvation through his death and resurrection. Jesus is who saves us.
