We think of Jesus as the Son of God and Messiah. But yet
if you met him and no one had pointed him out to you, you wouldn’t know he was
Jesus.
Yet this man whom you wouldn’t pick out from the crowd
was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world and to whom we could
understand the Father speaking these words of our first reading, “You are my
servant...in whom I shall be glorified…I will make you the light of the nations
so that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.” (Isa 49:3,6).
To-day Jesus comes to us in so many ways that if someone
as John the Baptist does not point Him
to us, we will miss him.
One such John the
Baptist is the Church which proclaims to us Jesus in the readings of the Holy Mass. Our undivided attention
is necessary when hearing the Word of God because it is through his Word that
He speaks to us. If a line strikes you, you must understand that God is
speaking to you.
We meet Jesus in
the Holy Communion. In our Communion we build a special bond with Him who
washes away our sins.
Build your life on Jesus, let Jesus be the foundation of
your life.
