Dear Friends,
On Sunday we celebrated the baptism of Jesus. In my sermon (Click Here) I referenced a popular commercial, here it is..
 | | The Force: Volkswagen Commercial |
My point was simple as this advertisement playfully illustrates a fundamental principle of doing God's invisible kingdom work. Just as the child could do nothing without the intervention of the father, so we can do nothing in the work of the Lord apart from God. When spiritual things happen, we can be sure that God did it. When we step out in faith; when we obey; when we yield our lives to the Holy Spirit; the Father smiles and makes something surprising in the midst. Let us live with hope and expectation that God will take who we are, what we have make something wonderful of it. It starts with our BAPTISM!
May God grant us grace in the journey and may He find us faithful in each moment...
in the mission,
Father Jon+
