Receiving His Word

As Jesus continues to explain his mission, he offers himself as the light which frees his hearers and believers from darkness (Jn 12: 45) and  reminds us that it is not only a matter of hearing his words, but of putting them into practice.  At the Last supper he gave us an example of service to one another by washing the feet of the Twelve; in Matthew 25, he specifies how we might act on his words.  He also reminds us that  rejecting  them brings about its own condemnation.  Receiving and rejecting have consequences.  May we be Receivers and not Rejecters.
