JAILBREAK
"Look, there! Those men you put in jail are standing over there in the
temple, teaching the people." —Acts 5:25
Many Christians don't seem to be able to get into the Spirit of the Easter
season because they stay trapped in compulsive behavior. They feel as if
they're in jail or in a tomb. Under these circumstances, how can they
celebrate Christ's resurrection?
The risen Jesus will roll away the stones of alcoholism, drug-addiction,
self-hatred, overeating, smoking, ion, sexual sins and fantasies,
compulsive shopping, , gossiping, and TV-watching. When Jesus
frees us from our prisons, He will command us: "Go out now and take your
place in the temple precincts and preach to the people all about this new
life" (Acts 5:20). Jesus frees us not only from slavery but also for
evangelization. He calls us to be living proof of the new life His
resurrection has made possible.
When other prisoners see that Jesus has freed us, at first some of them
will try to get us back to prison. But later they will believe in the
risen Christ and let Him also free them. Then many more people will be
living proofs of the resurrection, more and more people will be freed and
will proclaim the freedom of the risen Christ, and the world will believe.
Jesus promised: "I — once I am lifted up from earth — will draw all men to
Myself" (Jn 12:32). Repent! Let Jesus set you free.
Prayer: Jesus, may I tell thousands what You've done for me.
Promise: "Yes, God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that
whoever believes in Him may not die but may have eternal life." —Jn 3:16
Praise: Getting into the daily eucharistic Scripture readings helped David
know the risen Christ.
(Prepare for a life-changing Pentecost on Pentecost Sunday by praying the
Pentecost Novena. For supporting teaching, order our leaflet "Pentecost
Novena" or on audio AV 103-1 or video V-103.)
