Avoiding wrath

In today's first reading (Acts 5:27-33), the Apostles stand against the prevailing culture of their time and place and bring wrath upon themselves.

In the Gospel (John 3:31-36), our Lord warns of a different wrath.

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life,
but the wrath of God remains upon him.

May we never fear the wrath of men, but may we always embrace the love and truth of our Lord Jesus Christ.
