May 24, 2015 Acts 2:1-4; Romans 8:18-39 Reflection on the Texts God is the final judge and jury, and the verdict is in… we are acquitted of all wrongdoing. Is there anything in this world or the world beyond that can overturn such a ruling? Is there anything that can condemn humanity if God has already forgiven it? No, of course. In those times when it seems as though a greater evil is at work in our lives, we have the gift of God’s Holy Spirit to remind us that there is something greater than suffering – salvation through God’s love – and it is ours because of the saving work of Jesus Christ. |
