32 but there is another witness who speaks on my behalf, and I know that his testimony is true.
33 You sent messengers to John, and he gave his testimony to the truth-
34 not that I depend on human testimony; no, it is for your salvation that I mention it.
35 John was a lamp lit and shining and for a time you were content to enjoy the light that he gave.
36 But my testimony is greater than John's: the deeds my Father has given me to perform, these same deeds of mine testify that the Father has sent me.
37 Besides, the Father who sent me bears witness to me himself. You have never heard his voice, you have never seen his shape,
38 and his word finds no home in you because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent.
39 You pore over the scriptures, believing that in them you can find eternal life; it is these scriptures that testify to me,
42 Besides, I know you too well: you have no love of God in you.
43 I have come in the name of my Father and you refuse to accept me; if someone else should come in his own name you would accept him.
44 How can you believe, since you look to each other for glory and are not concerned with the glory that comes from the one God?
45 Do not imagine that I am going to accuse you before the Father: you have placed your hopes on Moses, and Moses will be the one who accuses you.
46 If you really believed him you would believe me too, since it was about me that he was writing;
47 but if you will not believe what he wrote, how can you believe what I say?
REFLECTION
In the gospel today, Jesus was trying to address those who did not believe in Him as the son of God despite the many
works that he has performed that by themselves prove He was sent by the Father if only they had eyes to see.
In our prayer today, what would Jesus be telling you? “But you do not want to come to me to have life.” Or , “I know that
you do not have the love of God in you.”
Pretty strong words to hear right? But sometimes this is our reality. Even if we have been abundantly sustained by God’s
mercy, we fail to believe that in truth, He has never stopped sending us His LOVE, his providence, every grace we need to
live each day. We still believe in the lie that we are unloved. Open your eyes, God loves you.
