[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, in today’s Gospel Jesus responds to questions about the end of
the world. When will it come? What will happen?Why were the first
Christians interested in these questions? The simplest and deepest answer
is that they had experienced the end of the world—precisely in the dying
and rising of Jesus. Jesus came preaching the kingdom of God, and the
nations conspired against him. The old world seemed to conquer this new
world that Jesus embodied. But then, in the Resurrection, they saw that the
old world—the world predicated upon death and the world that had done Jesus
in—was now defeated. So awed were they by the Resurrection—and you can
sense it in every book and letter of the New Testament—that they awaited
the imminent arrival of the new state of affairs, the return of Jesus and
the establishment of God’s kingdom. Though Jesus did not immediately
return, the old world was over, broken, compromised, its destruction now
just a matter of time.*
