but to wait for “the promise of the Father
about which you have heard me speak;
for John baptized with water,
but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

 

Todays reading focus on the proclamation and life of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is life in the Holy spirit. Jesus proclaimed the Gospel: Repent & Believe in Jesus. This Gospel was not something new but carried out from the Old testament & Prophets. Jesus fulfils his Physical mission on this earth and hands over this mission of Proclamation of the Gospel to his Disciples.

Jesus was not retired from his mission but creates a community of People and empowers them with the power of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, gives them a mission to proclaim the good news the Gospel  of truth.  Believing in the Gospel of truth saves people from the clutches of the Evil , World & Flesh. People who do not believe in the truth are liars because these people did not accept the truth but chose the darkness of this World by their own will. This is the reason they are condemned by themselves by refusing to believe in the truth.

Jesus is the truth and gives us spirit of truth the Holy Spirit. Those who believe in the Gospel are Baptised by the Holy Spirit , this is one activity . Faith opens the door to the love of the Father. The Baptism for infants is a process of the Church for people who are born in the Catholic Church and this Baptism followed by sacraments of reconciliation, Holy communion and confirmation. The parents nurture God’s love through faith in Jesus & his teachings and raise children in faith. If someone is baptised as an infant but parents do not bring them up in catholic faith, then this Baptism can be called a ritualistic ceremony but no faith or the Holy Spirit seen in these types of people.

Baptism of the Holy Spirit has been mis understood by many people, there is only Baptism for Christians, that is Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  Some receive in advance and then grow in faith and its fullness, but some receive after they believe in Jesus.  The fullness of the Spirit is a process, it is a journey of life in the Holy spirit. What is important in our life is the beginning or the presence of the Holy Spirit. In the journey of life, if we stop walking in the steps of Jesus we will lose the Holy spirit and the Baptism will only remain in our names & Birth Certificates and not in the Book of life.

Evangelisation is continuing our Fathers Business, if we do not Evangelise then we are not faithful to our Father or to the Gospel. If we experience God’s love, we need to witness and testify that love to others. When we do this our Works will be accompanied with signs and Wonders.  The best evangelisation is to make our children a true disciple of Christ, we need not to go to the end of the Earth.  If we evangelise the whole World and absence of Jesus in our own Children, then we need to ask a question to ourselves how our own witnessing of Jesus love to our Children is.  In the family evangelisation is 90% in Witnessing and only 10% in Words and study.

If we do not have God’s love the Holy Spirit in our life, then it is better not to preach because we become bad ambassadors for Christ and this does not build the Church but harms the Church. We see many preachers and priests live a Bad life and preach God’s word to people who do not know Jesus. Mother Teresa did not preach but 100% Witnessed Jesus to the poor. These people saw Jesus in her and believed in Jesus. This is the best way of Evangelisation in today’s  World.

 

Holy Spirit is love, Gifts & Fruits of the Holy spirit without love do not come from God.

Whoever loves me will keep my word, says the Lord,
and my Father will love him, and we will come to him.

Last Sunday’s readings introduce us to the Holy spirit who was promised by Jesus. During the life of Jesus on this earth, Jesus was challenged by the World to transform the World in to the Kingdom of God through miracles, debates, signs, judgement, Scriptures so on. Even on the Cross the Jewish leaders challenge Jesus saying if you are the Messiah, come down from the Cross and we will worship you.  After the resurrection and the defeating the Devil by dying on the Cross, Jesus could have very well restored the Kingdom by showing his power of resurrection to the Jews and rest of the World. I was wondering why Jesus did not do it immediately after his resurrection.

To answer to my question, the Lord revealed me todays scriptures:

Beloved, let us love one another,
because love is of God;
everyone who loves is begotten by God and knows God.

In the journey of life, man lost the relationship with God and lost love of God and of each other. Jesus was sent in to this World to restore this love and establish a new covenant of love by offering his Body and Blood on the Cross which we call act of Salvation. The Salvation is to restore the love of God and rekindle the lost love in others life.  The Salvation is the Master plan of the trinity to defeat the Devil, World and the flesh. The Victory has been achieved but this Victory is not applied in our life through the act of love.  Jesus after his resurrection establishes his organisation of love the Church to restore the love of God and of each other and introduces the third person of the Trinity the Holy spirit. The Salvation was attained for all the people who had died and the people who are living and for the next generation. God’s Salvation plan was to restore the love in each and every person of this World of past , present and the future.

Every person who loves God will keep the Commandments. What are the Commandments or beatitudes of Jesus? All Commandments and Word of God or beatitudes can be summarised to love of God and each other. God is the author of love and he has written the book of love his people on this earth. If we say we love the Author of the Book of love but do not love the people of that book, then we manipulate the love of God in to our selfish nature. This is the reason Jesus wanted us to experience the Salvation  in our own personal life through the transformation of our life to the love of God and of each other.  This transformation  takes place by experiencing the love of God the Holy spirit, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Master, the Holy spirit the God’s love , enters in our life and this relationship stirs  our life and produces the love of our neighbour in the form of the gifts of the Holy spirit.

How a big tree produce good fruits , flowers, beauty in to the World, same way God’s relationship with Man the Holyspirit or Love of God brings good things of Charity in this World.

Now the question is Can one lose the Salvation Experience in his or her life. Yes one can lose the Salvation in his life however holy or gifted that person during his or her conversion time or after.The Salvation Experience is the free gift of God , distributed more freely than the air of this Earth. God offers this love every moment of our life in each and every activity of our life. If a person stops having a relationship with God ( Holy spirit) either in his prayer life or with his neighbour , the love of God stops flowing un to us and we become just like before our God experience . The Salvation is lifelong process but begins from the foot of the Cross till our death bed. We can not stop loving our God or our brothers & Sisters through out our life despite of any sufferings, sicknesses, hatred, Sin, or even of the fear of death. This is the meaning of  true love of Jesus and the Holy spirit in today’s readings. God’s love does not discriminate anyone despite of religion, race, colour, nationality, group, Holy & unholy but freely given to every single soul from Nicodemus the Pharisee the educated and the good the Thief on the Cross.

The relationship with God can be maintained in various ways like Christian ministries, personal prayer, Eucharist & the Word of God . Let us stir or increase or intensify the love of God the Holy spirit in our life and reap the fruits of love  Joy & peace in our life.
