"Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls." (James 1:21)
Dearest friend(s) in Christ good morning and best wishes from us here in this One, Big and Happy Family- The ARCHIVE.
We are grateful to God for His love and benevolence upon us throughout this week. It is all about "His Grace" that we make it to this day. May His name be praised both now and forevermore. Amen.
On this great day, our brother St. James presents before us the greatest of all treasures - The Word. He further stated the manner in which we should receive it and then highlight the fruit that comes with it - Eternal life.
"Receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls." (James 1:21)
However, the Word of God remains the light that brightens our path. That which gives us hope in moment of adversity. The sick regains healing on hearing of the Word. The blind receives sight with its proclamation. Distress souls find comfort. It is this same Word that the barren womb becomes fertile. Above all, Evangelist John announced the transformation of this Word into flesh and its dwelling among us now and always - Emmanuel (cf. John 1:1ff.)
Beloved in Christ, there is a pertinent question for you and I this morning to ponder on and find answer:
On hearing the Word, how do you receive it?
Let the exhortation given to us by St. James prepares us well to receive this WORD OF LIFE with meekness. For through it we will be saved and Life will no longer be the same again.
Remember, there is "Power in God's Word."
Peace be with you!
Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you.
Let us pray
Almighty and eternal God. We are grateful to You for the wonders of our being. We thank You for the air we breath, the rain that wets the land, and the sunshine that warms us. We ask thee O! Lord to bless and keep us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
Amen
