 “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” – I Cor 1:18 The Gospel according to Jesus’ claims is exclusive.  This is what our world hates. The Gospel, the greatest love story of salvation ever told is beautiful and benefiting (Jn 3:16). However, the beauty and benefit of the Gospel is not without its offence. The reflection is that, ‘the primary reason the gospel is offensive is because our hearts and minds are centred on ourselves.’ The Gospel means confessing we are...

Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, you are looking for me, not because you saw miraculous signs but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. 27 Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the son of man will give you.” (Jn 6:26, 27) In our Gospel reading Jesus emphasized his exclusive claim and solution to world’s famine (Jn 6). The background to Jesus’ claim is the feeding of the 5000. At the end of this feeding, the crowd wanted to take Jesus by force and made Him...
