Eve of Baptism of the Lord: Psalm 104; John 6:1-14
Quod Tuum Tene - hold onto what you have - was my old school motto. To me, it sounded selfish; I thought it was about material possessions, privileges and power. But in Revelation, almost the same words show up twice ... The writer uses this Latin proverb to invite fledgling churches to resist temptation and hang on with all their might to greater treasures than property or prestige ... that is, all the rich gifts of the human spirit which come from trusting and following in the Way of Jesus. That motto sounds better now - remember who you are.
