[Grem] *****SPAM(5.2)***** Gospel meditation

[Emoke Greschik]

Friends, in today’s Gospel,
*the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders approach Jesus and ask him,
“By what authority are you doing these things?” *

*The first witnesses of Jesus were astonished by the authority of his
speech and his actions*.* This wasn’t simply because he spoke and acted
with conviction and enthusiasm; it was because he refused to* *play the
game that every other rabbi played, tracing his authority finally back to
Moses*. *He went, as it were, over the head of Moses, as he did at the
beginning of*
*the Sermon on the Mount: “You have heard that it was said . . . but I say
. . .” *

His listeners knew they were dealing with something qualitatively different
than anything else in their religious tradition or experience. They were
dealing with
*the prophet greater than Moses.*

*And Jesus had to be more than a mere *prophet. *Why? Because we all have
been wounded, indeed our entire world compromised, by a battle that took
place at a more fundamental level of existence. The result is the
devastation of sin, which we all know too well.* *Who alone could possibly
take it on*? A merely human figure? Hardly. *What is required is the power
and authority of the Creator himself, intent on remaking and saving his
world, binding up its wounds, and setting it right.*


*Imádkozzál érettünk, Istennek szent Anyja!  Hogy méltók lehessünk Krisztus
ígéreteire!  Könyörögjünk! Kérünk téged, Úristen, öntsd lelkünkbe szent
kegyelmedet, hogy akik az angyali üzenet által szent Fiadnak, Jézus
Krisztusnak megtestesülését megismertük, az ő kínszenvedése és keresztje
által a föltámadás dicsőségébe vitessünk! Krisztus, a mi Urunk által. Ámen.*
