[Grem] *****SPAM(6.1)***** Re: A mai szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

*Friends, today’s Gospel reports Jesus’ first sermon.After his Baptism and
temptation, Jesus begins to preach in Galilee. The first words out of his
mouth *serve as a summary statement of his life and work:

*"This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent,
and believe in the Gospel."Something that human beings have been longing
for has appeared, and the time is now for a decision. Jesus’ very first
words are a wake-up call. This is not the time to be asleep, not the time
for delaying tactics, procrastinating, and second-guessing. The initial
words of Jesus’ first sermon are* an invitation to psychological and
spiritual awareness:

* there is something to be seen, so open your eyes!*
*But what is it that he wants us to notice? What is this astonishing state
of affairs that must not be missed? "The kingdom of God is at hand." To my
mind, the metaphor of the kingdom has a primary referent in the person of
Jesus himself. Jesus wants us to open our eyes to see *what God is doing in
and through him. *He himself is the kingdom of God coming into the world
with transformative power.*

*Ó bűn nélkül fogantatott Szűz Mária, könyörögj értünk, kik hozzád
menekülünk! *
