"He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light."
Reflection
it is easy to believe something when we are able to witness how it happened, meaning, when it is logical. logic is one of the many reasons why the world is going round. it makes our steps in place, our words precise, decisions and thoughts viable.
we are easily brought to this world belief that when something is logical, then it must be true. but in our experience, we encounter many instances where things become valid and true even illogical. one of these is love. love can survive a relationship even if it seems too hopeless. Even how cruel a person, because of love, he/she can still care for his family and friends.
Similarly, faith sometimes does not follow certain logic. it moves mountains, separates seas, heals the ill for decades, and raises the dead. this is what Jesus wanted us to understand - that we only need to have faith in Him who can make the impossibles possible.
we have believed in the prophets to be the light who gives us counsel in life; we have followed our teachers and leaders for their decisions and wisdom; we have risked our faith to those who taught us how to believe. yet, we must remember always that Jesus surpasses all these people. He alone can lead us to the right path. he alone can give us enough light on our journey to faith. he alone is the source of life we have been searching for to live and believe. If only we have this faith in jesus and knowledge of who he is in this world, then it would be easy for us to live.
