1 John 5:5-13; Psalm 147:12-15, 19-20; Luke 5:12-16

Give us proof!

The theme of witnessing occurs throughout today’s readings. John talks about the three witnesses: Spirit, water and blood, then of God’s testimony in the Son. Jesus constantly shows how he wants to bring life. He does, however, caution the man he cures of leprosy to tell no one (namely, not to witness through speech) but to do as Moses prescribes in the law, for the priestly authorities are the ones to testify to such a cure. Human witnesses and the witness of God.
How have I seen God’s love for me today? How can I witness to Jesus today?
