Friday, August 7th
Jesus said to His Disciples, "I tell you solemnly, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming with His Kingdom."
Matthew 16: 28

Those who followed Me in My Incarnate Life saw the establishment of the Father's Kingdom. In the Word Made Flesh they saw and they experienced the fulfilment of the Father's promise which countless sons of men before their time and in succeeding generations saw but as a hope awaiting revelation and fulfilment. And the Father's all-embracing, interpenetrating love includes in His eternal Kingdom the faithful both in hope and in fulfilment.

I am The Vine, and the life which binds all those faithful to My saving love and to the Father is one with that which enlivens all who faithfully follow in the way of truth and love.

And as the reward of all is one, so is the way. I, the Son of Man, the Father's only Son, sought and fulfilled the Father's loving will and glorious purpose in Gethsemane and on the Cross of Calvary. Each faithful follower in the way shares with Me and I with him both Gethsemane and Calvary.
