Fourth Sunday of Lent – March 26, 2017
Gospel Reading: John 9:1-41
“[Jesus] found him and said, ‘Do you believe in the Son of Man? He answered and said, ‘Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’ Jesus said to him, ‘You have seen him, the one speaking with you is he.’”
Jesus is no longer here on earth, performing his public ministry. As such, we must now serve as the face of Christ for our students. When our students see us, although they are indeed seeing fellow flawed human beings, we must ensure that our words, actions, and intentions lead them closer to the Lord, so “that [they] may believe in him.”
Have you taken the time to appreciate the opportunity that you have to lead your students to a greater awareness of how much Jesus loves them?
