Daily Meditation: The Church, God's People

Monday October 21, 2013    The Church, God's People   As Jesus was one human person among many, the Church is one organization among many.  And just as there may have been people with more attractive appearances than Jesus, there may be many organizations that are a lot better run than the Church.   But Jesus is the Christ appearing among us to reveal God's love, and the Church is his people called together to make his presence visible in today's world.   Would we have recognized Jesus as the Christ if we had met him many years ago?  Are we able to recognize him today in his body, the Church?  We are asked to make a leap of faith.  If we dare to do it our eyes will be opened and we will see the glory of God.      Comment on this Daily Meditation.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community.
