[Grem] a mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus prophesies his crucifixion and his
Father’s role in his coming death. 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.*
