Huppenthal Louise Kleine The People of Holy Name Parish First Eucharist April 12, 2015 Second Sunday of Easter Gospel Reflection April 12, 2015 2nd Sunday of Easter Acts 4:32–35; Ps 118:2–4, 13–15, 22–24 1 Jn 5:1–6; Jn 20:19–31 Our first reading today paints an idealized picture of life in the early Jerusalem church. In the Acts of the Apostles, Luke shows us what life can be like among a community of believers open to the Holy Spirit. The example of the early church serves as a lesson for us. Luke stresses two things in his description of the community: they “bore witness to the resurrection”, and they looked out for each other — “there was no needy person among them”. Our text calls us to be “of one heart and mind” as we strive to live out our faith. The reading from First John reinforces this message as it calls us to live our love for God by keeping “his commandments,” which “are not burdensome”. Our author reminds us that our faith in Jesus Christ is evidence that we are “begotten by God”. And with God’s help we are able to conquer the world and live as light in the midst of darkness. The battle between good and evil is not finished, but the outcome has been guaranteed. John’s Gospel is originally thought to have ended with chapter 20. Its last two verses read like a conclusion. Our author tells us that “Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book”. Looking at the other canonical Gospels, we find many other signs or miracles. In fact, in John 21 we have another collection of stories about Jesus, probably added to the text by a later editor. Our original evangelist tells us that the purpose of his text is to provide material to either inspire or reinforce faith so “that through this belief you may have life in his name”. This dynamic of revelation leading to faith leading to salvation is found throughout John’s text. For Reflection: How do I bear witness to the resurrection? What gospel stories in particular inspire my faith?
