Glory to Jesus Christ! Glory forever!
A few days ago, I was speaking with a friend about the series “The Chosen.” In our conversation, this friend remarked that in The Chosen, when we see Jesus interact with various people, one sees how there isn’t a single person in this world that Jesus does not know.
But, brothers and sisters, do we know Him? Do we strive to know Him more and more each day? Do we aim to fulfill His commandments each and every day, namely to believe in Him and love one another? As John says in today’s epistle, we can have confidence before God and live in His love if our hearts are in harmony with our actions and His commandments.
