GOSPEL introduction – John 1-14
Tonight, in the Gospel, we celebrate the Glory of GOD.
The Word was made flesh.... God, Divinity, Heaven... Pure & Holy entered into the world....
HE became man, so that through HIM, our linkage to HEAVEN is re-established.
His Mission was the CROSS.... to save Adam’s race.... corrupted by SIN.
Like James, John & Peter, we too, do not understand HIS MISSION,
“Why the CROSS?.... Why the suffering, pain, trial & tribulation... Why?”
Peter protested against the CROSS, James & John the throne seekers also did not understand ..... so Jesus brought these three apostles to the mountaintop to show the Glory that lay beyond the CROSS.... a glimpse of the Glory of God through “Transfiguration”... beyond the CROSS.
So, do we understand the CROSS? Do we understand our Mission here on earth? Jesus too invites all of us to the mountaintop to show us “a glimpse of what is beyond the cross” ....his “Transfiguration” – the GLORY of GOD.
Everyday of our life, we can meet Jesus in the mountaintop...we can climb up to his tabernacle, in his Church. We can call upon His name, Jesus Jesus Jesus.....
He lives among us....as we share ....God’s Words, as we received him in the Holy Communion, as we offered up our prayers in this Community. We too can see his GLORY!
What is beyond the CROSS?..... It is the joy of the radiance, the resurrected life, the eternal life in Heaven, the GLORY of GOD .... full of Grace & Truth.
Let us all stand and open our hearts to receive Jesus.
