May Jesus Christ, who leads the way to the heavenly banquet, be with you and nourish you!

Every time we read scripture, the life of Jesus Christ becomes alive for us. Absorbing His words and meditating on them, causes a change in our lives, whether we believe it or not.  Scripture brings solace, hope and encouragement.  It helps us to answer certain questions in our lives.

Scripture also challenges us to truly live and mirror in our lives, the life of Jesus Christ.  If we embrace Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we must heed His words.  The Christian life is by no means easy, but we know that if we want to inherit eternal life, we must live, breathe and act...according to the words of Jesus.

In today's scripture readings, Jesus offers us a challenge for our daiy lives.  We are callenged to forgive and to reconcile with those, with whom we may have a strained relationship. We are reminded of the Lord's prayer: "forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us."

May we continue to embrace the words of Jesus Christ and allow His words to come alive in our daily lives!

Peace
