[Grem] Advent 2. péntekje szentmiséje igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel the Pharisees compare the eating habits of John
the Baptist, who fasted, and Jesus, who dined with sinners. In the
carefully stratified society of Jesus’ time, a righteous person would never
associate with the unrighteous, for fear of becoming unclean. But here is
Jesus, scandalizing everyone because he does indeed break down these
barriers. How would you feel if you saw me socializing with prostitutes and
drug-dealers, eating and drinking with terrorists? Would it shock you,
dismay you, disappoint you? But this is what Jesus did, precisely because
he was the Incarnation of the God who aggressively seeks out the lost. God
looks for us, comes running after us, never lets go, never relents, never
gives up. The more we run, the more he runs after; the more we hide, the
more he looks; the more we resist, the more he persists. God loves sinners
and associates with them.*
