Thoughts from the Lectionary for the First Sunday after Easter

From the Epistle Lesson: 1 St. John 5:4 -12

Vs. 5 "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"

The Apostle has been writing of the Christian’s basic orientation of obedience to God as they are enabled by His power through their faith in Him. This faith that has overcome the world and shines like a beacon on a hill as Christ’s children live by faith in Him. Those who believe God’s testimony about His blessed Son are given eternal life in Christ Jesus. He who doesn’t believe what God has said as much as calls God a liar to His face.

Christ through His resurrection power has overcome the world. We who trust in, cling to, and rely upon Him also overcome the world by grace through faith.
