Cherish, Caress, Hold Dear, One Another

Jesus loves us to the end, to giving up his body and shedding his blood for us.  He wants us to love one another as he loves us, which means we are to cherish one another. At bottom, love is Jesus as he lays down his life for us (1 Jn 3, 16; 4, 9-10).  Which goes to...

Hear and Follow the Good Shepherd

Jesus is the Good News to the poor in person.  Hence, he seeks them and they, in turn, do not fail to hear and follow him.  Jesus says that he knows his sheep, and they hear and follow him.  And he says this to the leaders of the Jews in matters of religion. It looks...

Rulers Who Are Lowly, and Love and Feed Others

Jesus is Ruler and Savior. He wants the rulers among his own to be lowly, to love and feed others, just as he has been and done to them.

Hour of the Final Revelation of the New

Jesus brings in the new thing that God makes.  And it springs forth at this very hour.  Do we see it?  And do we welcome it? The wine runs short at a wedding that the mother of Jesus, he and his disciples attend.  As she finds this out, she points it out to her son....

Suffering Servant of the Lord God

Jesus is the Suffering Servant of the Lord God. He comes not to be served, but to serve and to give his life for all.  John baptizes Jesus. As Jesus prays, heaven opens, and the Holy Spirit comes down upon him as a dove. And a voice from heaven says, “You are my dear...

Born Once More for Welcoming the Word

Rescue All of Us from All Evil

Jesus does not come to judge us but to save us.  He wants to rescue us from all evil.  Hence, he gives himself for us. John preaches that God is about to save, rescue, his people.  But he announces, too, that God is about to punish those who have not been true to him....
