[Grem] a mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel, the Pharisees demand Jesus give them a sign in
order to prove his authority, perhaps a miracle. But I’d like to draw your
attention to the final line in the passage: "He left them, got into the
boat again, and went off to the other shore."*Whose boat was this? Well,
the previous verses confirm it belonged to his disciples. Jesus entering
the boat calls to mind his first encounter with Peter. One day, Peter was
going about his ordinary business, washing his nets and preparing for a
catch. Then without warning, without asking permission, Jesus got into his
boat. Now the boat was everything for Peter; it was his livelihood, his
security. But Jesus just got in and began giving orders.

So it goes in the order of grace.* The true God cannot be manipulated,
determined by us, *or controlled through our efforts.

*We can’t act like the Pharisees in today’s Gospel, demanding that God
behave for us. Rather, he comes into our lives—often unbidden and
unexpected—and determines us, controls us. His presence is pure grace.Don’t
demand signs from God. Instead, do what the disciples did and let him enter
your boat.*
