Catholic Bible Recollection Of The Day
Catholic Bible Recollection Of The Day Galatians 2:20
To say that this is one of the more remarkable verses in the New Testament is an understatement. Saint Paul says that just as Christ was put to death by crucifixion, Saint Paul became dead to sin, dead to the world and dead to the Jewish Law. St. Paul goes on to clarify that though he was dead, he now lives through Christ who lives within him. Or rather that he lives through the Grace of Christ who is the Redeemer.
Saint Paul now lives by his faith on the Son of God, by confidence in the Son of God, looking to Him for strength, trusting in his promises, and in his grace.
"Who loved me and gave Himself for me". Here St.Paul acknowledges the love of Christ who loved him so much that He had given Himself up to the death of the cross in his behalf.
How often have you at the end of the day, rewound and replayed the day in your mind. Most often than not, wished that you had spoken differently, acted differently and taken hot words back. Or it could be that you are facing a difficult problem. Or that your heart, mind and soul is feeling low because of your present circumstances.
In times as such, you wish you were a time traveler and could just go back a day before, a week before or even a year before and start anew. There's good news for you, God's love and mercies are always there waiting for you. Yours for the asking, any time, any place.
Put to death your old self and soak yourself in God's love and mercy. His compassion will take away yesterday with all its pain, sadness and regrets. His love and faithfulness will strengthen you every new day. And His Grace will fill you with His Holy Spirit and you will live the future a new being in Christ.
To conclude in the words of Saint Paul in his letter to the Romans, chapter 8, verse 31
"If God is for us, who can be against us?".
