Acts 16:11-15 / John 15:26 -
16:4
Jesus instructs his disciples: “You must bear witness on my behalf.”
A witness is someone who can say, “I
know what I am talking about from personal experience.” Thus, Christian witness
involves two things:
(1) a burning internal conviction about Jesus and
(2) a convincing external expression of this conviction.

An American warship
was transporting wounded Japanese prisoners during World War II. The medical
officer took such excellent care of the prisoners that some American officers
protested. “Treat those animals the same way that they treat our wounded,” they
said. The medical officer responded:
Jesus, the True Vine – May we be his branches that bear fruit
Jesus, the True Vine – May we be his branches that bear
fruit
We thank you, gracious God, for Jesus Christ the true vine,
with his roots eternally grounded in you. We rejoice that by grace we have been
grafted into him, to be branches on a vine which bears the loveliest of all the
fruits of earth. Yet we confess that all is not well with the way we live.

Acts 15:22-31 / John 15:12-17
Jesus talks more about love: “No one has greater love than this.”
A municipal park in
Chicago is called Milton Olive Park. The story behind the park’s name deserves
to be told over and over. Milton Olive was a
19-year-old soldier who fought in Vietnam. In October 1965, he
threw himself on a live hand grenade and saved the lives of four comrades. “In
that incredible, brief moment...in which
he decided to die, he put others first and himself last. I have always believed
that to be the hardest but the highest decision that any man is called upon to
make.”

St. Matthias, Apostle, Thursday, May 14th
Jesus speaks about
life: “Live in my love; keep my commandments.”
Three people were discussing some recent translations of the
Bible.
How faithful are we in translating the Bible into
action? Our greatest need is not to gain more knowledge, but to put into
practice what we already know.
