John 8, 21-30:
“Who are you?”
The Jews are disconcerted by the person of Jesus.
And in this confusion, they ask Jesus directly who he is.
Jesus also answers directly: “When you have lifted up the Son of Man then you will know that I am He”.
Jesus tells them clearly that they will know who he is at the time of his death on the cross.
We can only understand Jesus Christ from the cross. On the cross is where we understand that Jesus is total obedience to the Father and that he is a gift and infinite love to each one of us.
Ensure that you pray today for a while before a crucifix and ask Jesus the question “Who are you?”.
Even try to go further. Also ask the question: “Jesus, Who are you for me?”.
Answer without fear and act accordingly.
Good day.
