1 John 2:22-28
Beloved: Who is the liar? Whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Whoever denies the Father and the Son, this is the antichrist. Anyone who denies the Son does not have the Father, but whoever confesses the Son has the Father as well.
Let what you heard from the beginning remain in you. If what you heard from the beginning remains in you, then you will remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that he made us: eternal life. I write you these things about those who would deceive you. As for you, the anointing that you received from him remains in you, so that you do not need anyone to teach you. But his anointing teaches you about everything and is true and not false; just as it taught you, remain in him.
And now, children, remain in him, so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be put to shame by him at his coming.
Dawg's thought:
Today's prayer intention is for Sandra Franco-Larson, a friend of mine who had a stroke last week.
What if someone were to ask you the question: why should I go to Church?
If your response could be half of today's reading, you would be doing well. After all, would you like to be called a liar or an anitchrist? Wouldn't you want to have God remain with you? Wouldn't you want eternal life?
Empowered by Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Scripture, we can offer Christ to others. As a resolution this year, learn the Word of God so that you may love God and your neighbor better. Take care and God Bless.
