Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time

Matthew 17:22-27

*Bár nem a ma általam kiküldött evangéliumhoz kapcsolódik, mégis: *






*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus prophesies his crucifixion and
resurrection: "The Son of Man is to be handed over to men, and they will
kill him, and he will be raised on the third day." What enabled the first
Christians to hold up the cross, to sing its praises, to wear it as a
decoration is the fact that God raised up and ratified precisely this
crucified Jesus. "You killed him, but God raised him up." Therefore, God
was involved in this terrible thing; God was there, working out his
salvific purposes. But what does this mean? There have been numerous
attempts throughout the Christian centuries to name the salvific nature of
the cross. Let me offer just one take on it. It became clear to the first
Christians that somehow, on that terrible cross, sin had been dealt with.
The curse of sin had been removed, taken care of. On that terrible cross,
Jesus functioned as the "lamb of God," sacrificed for sin. Does this mean
God the Father is a cruel taskmaster demanding a bloody sacrifice so that
his anger might be appeased? No; Jesus’ crucifixion was the opening up of
the divine heart so that we could see that no sin of ours could finally
separate us from the love of God.*
