Morning Spiritual Recipe: OmenukoJesus in “Living the Word”
Thursday 27th April, 2023
Acts 8:26–40
John 6:44–51
Theme: Eternal Life…Preliminaries!
The two readings today present simple sacramental requirements for divine life viz Baptism and Holy Eucharist. As directed by the spirit of God in the first reading, Philip taught and baptised the Ethiopian Eunuch, bringing him into the community of believers, children of God and heirs to the kingdom of God, and of life eternal. In the Gospel, Jesus avows that participating in the feast of the bread from heaven, the bread of life which is His body given up for us, is the only and surest way to have life in him. By inviting us to eat the bread from heaven, which is His flesh, using the “I Am…” narrative, Jesus makes it concretely clear that he is “ever-present” with us till the end, and in this presence alone, can life and peace be found.
Good morning and Remain Favoured!
