We need the Word in our lives, to nourish and give us life. It is our everlasting connection with our loving God. When we remain steadfast in our love for God and stay focused on our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, we are able preach and give testimony and bring others to the same faith. We are emboldened and fearless for Jesus is with us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. Amen

Acts 5:27-33
Gospel
Jn 3:31-36
The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.
