[Grem] A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, our Gospel for today contains one of the most important and
misunderstood lines in all of Christian Scripture. Spying Jesus, John the
Baptist says, "Behold the Lamb of God." In a very casual survey, I asked a
number of people what this phrase means, and the answer I typically got was
this: it means that he is gentle and humble and good, like a lamb.But for a
first-century Jew, the phrase had little if anything to do with that:* it

*had to do with sacrifice. It meant that Jesus was someone who was destined
to be sacrificed as a sin offering to God. John the Baptist’s
characterization of Jesus as the Lamb of God *has to do with Temple
sacrifice. *He will be the one who offers the final and definitive
sacrifice which reconciles divinity and humanity.* He will offer something
to the Father which will deal finally with the problem of sin, and *in this
we will find our salvation.*
