Where do we belong?

Many people feel lost nowadays.

Once-solid companies are failing.

Politicians who inspired hope now generate doubt.

Fads that promised a happy life now gather dust.

As always, the words and example of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in today's Gospel (John 8:21-30) give us true hope and direction in an uncertain world.

He said to them, "You belong to what is below,
I belong to what is above.
You belong to this world,
but I do not belong to this world.
That is why I told you that you will die in your sins.
For if you do not believe that I AM,
you will die in your sins."

By the grace of Christ, may we believe more fully in Him and keep our hearts set on things of heaven as we continue to labor faithfully for Him on earth.

He has not left me alone,
because I always do what is pleasing to him.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, be merciful to me - a sinner.
