Receiving whom God sends
An excerpt from John 13:20
Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, whoever receives one whom I send receives me; and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.”
Reflection from Tina, Tyler, and Emily Calub, St. Gregory’s: We believe that God finds many ways to connect with us. One way that he does this is by providing us with opportunities to serve one another. Even when it is difficult, or when we feel like it is a burden, we must trust that God has a plan for us. Through service to others, we can experience God’s love for all of us. This scripture also reminds us of Matthew 24:40 – whatever you do for the least of you, you do for me. So, by serving others, we serve God, who gave his only Son for our eternal life.
