Fourth Week of Easter
Monday of the Fourth Week of Easter (Acts 11:1-18;
John 10:1-10) He is the center. All the rays find their source in Him. The Sun, He touches all. Even those who do not know Him, are touched by Him. All of creation comes from Him and returns through Him to the Father. He is the One who makes of creation, material and immaterial, living and dead, one. It is He who gives meaning to existence.
Tuesday of the Fourth Week of Easter (Acts 11:19-26;John 10:22-30) He comes to take us back to the Father. He comes not to do His own will. The will of His Father is His motivating force. “I and the Father are one” finds its meaning in the conformity of their wills. Maybe “desire” would be a better word. The desire to have all share their lives with the Father and Himself.
Wednesday of the Fourth Week of Easter (Acts 12:24-13:5; John 12:44-50) He is the light. Darkness is sin, being separated from God, from ourselves and from the world. Darkness is a prison which prevents us from seeing the wonders of the world. We are wrapped up in ourselves. He comes to give us sight. To see the world of God and in so doing be freed from the darkness of our own little world.
Thursday of the Fourth Week of Easter (Acts 13:13-25; John13:16-20) The great I AM, the identity with the Father is made known. He does not keep it a secret. This identity is not something He holds onto as solely His own. It is something to be shared. Those who believe in Him are identified with Him as He is with the Father. They walk in His place. They are He in time and space.
Friday of the Fourth Week of Easter (Acts 13:26-33; John 14:1-6) He does not say “I will show you the way I will teach you the truth, I will show you life” He says: I am the way, the truth and the life. He asks us to cling to Him. In our union with Him is found the way of being human, in our trust in Him is found conformity to reality and in resting in Him do we find life, the serenity of wholeness.
Saturday of the Fourth Week of Easter (Acts 13:44-52; John 14:7-14) He was sent. Once again His obedience to the Father strikes us. He left the glory that was His, He said “yes” to His Father. He listened and shared what He heard. Obedience bears fruit. Not listening, the opposite of obedience, leads to discord. The obedience of the Lord is life giving, not listening kills the spirit. The obedience of the Lord enlightens the world, not listening brings darkness. To let go of all the voices within us so that we can hear the life giving words and answer them is the path of a believer.
