HISTORY LESSON
"So Paul arose, motioned to them for silence and began." —Acts 13:16
Paul recalled to the Jews of Antioch in Pisidia their spiritual history.
He mentioned the Exodus, wandering in the desert, entry into the promised
land, and special people like Samuel, Saul, David, and John the Baptizer.
Ask the Spirit to remind you (Jn 14:26) of the events, places, and people
that the Lord used in leading you to Himself. This history lesson will
help you see God's plan for your life, fill you with thanksgiving, and
give you confidence that He didn't bring you this far to leave you.
In fact, "He Who has begun the good work in you will carry it through to
completion, right up to the day of Christ Jesus" (Phil 1:6). You'll feel
like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Your heart will burn and
you'll recognize Jesus in new ways (Lk 24:31-32). Jesus will become real
and alive for you. It will be as if He personally appeared to you in His
risen glory. You will have Easter and be compelled to witness that Jesus
is alive.
Let the Spirit roll away the stone. Then come out of the tomb into the
light and life of the risen Christ.
Prayer: Father, I will live no longer for myself but for Jesus (2 Cor
5:15). Help me to love Jesus in the Mass ever more deeply.
Promise: "Through all generations my mouth shall proclaim Your
faithfulness." —Ps 89:2
Praise: Charlotte was blind for eight years. Jesus healed her.
