[Grem] A mai nagyböjti szentmise igéi

[Emoke Greschik]

* Friends, in today’s Gospel, Jesus asserts his pre-existence by declaring
that “before Abraham came to be, I AM.”There has been a disturbing tendency
in recent years to turn Jesus into an inspiring spiritual teacher. If
that’s all he is, the heck with him. But the Gospels are never content with
such a reductive description. Though they present him as a teacher, they
know that he is infinitely more than that, that something else is at stake
in him and our relation to him.Scripture clearly teaches that Jesus is
divine. He once declared, “Have faith in God; have faith also in me.” We
can easily imagine other religious founders urging faith in God, but we’d
be hard pressed to imagine them urging the same faith in themselves! But on
Jesus’ lips, the two are parallel.As C.S. Lewis so vividly saw, this means
that Jesus compels us to make a choice the way no other figure does. Either
you are with Jesus or you are against him. There is no other way to take in
this language. To get this wonderful paradox is to come close to the heart
of what it means to be a Christian. *

*Dicsőség az Atyának, a Fiúnak és a Szentléleknek most és mindörökké. Ámen.*
