Theme: For faithful people, life is changed, not ended
1st Reading: Wisdom, Chapter
3: 1-9
Scripture paints a picture of unsurpassed peace and unparalleled
bliss in the hereafter. Even though the world thinks our passing away is for
the worse, these verses should strengthen our faith in what God, our Creator, has
in store for us.
2nd Reading: Romans, Chapter
5: 5-11
This scripture teaches that salvation is God’s own initiative
that is meant to show us how much he loves us, though we are unworthy of his
saving grace.
OR
Our baptism into Christ ushers us into a life that is dead to
sin but alive in Christ. Sin’s power over us is broken, and so we should see ourselves
as sharing a new life with Christ, the Messiah.
Gospel Reading: John, Chapter
6: 37-40
We hear the reassuring promise that God wants all of us to be
saved.
Nobody who turns to our Lord will be rejected. And because of
his meritorious death and resurrection, Jesus has the power to raise us up to
everlasting life with him.
