Reflections with Andy - Matthew 11: 7-11 - The Real Presence

As we conclude this week’s reflections on John the Baptist, we consider Jesus' powerful declaration that while John was the greatest of those born under the Old Covenant, even the least in the New Covenant holds a unique position of greatness. We recognize that this transition represents a move from an external law to an internal presence—the mystery of "Christ in us, the hope of glory." We understand that through the Holy Spirit, the real presence of Christ is not a distant hope but a current reality that dwells within each of us. Consequently, we are encouraged to view every aspect of our lives, from the mundane to the monumental, as sacred, knowing that Christ is really and fully present in every breath we take.
