Continuing yesterday’s, message, let us analyze some excerpts:

  • “Father, glorify Your name! Then there came a voice from the heaven saying, I have both glorified it and will glorify it again. Then the crowd who stood by and heard said that it thundered. Others said, An angel spoke to Him. Jesus answered and said, This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sakes.” (Joh 12:28-30).

I look on this passage as one of the most despondent of the Holy Scripture. Fancy the Creator speaking especially with you and you hear only a thunder. And the worst is that, many times, this takes place, and we accuse in Jesus of not hearing our prayer and not speaking with us.

If people had understood the message, they would have turned up with good eyes to witness the most important and unique event of all the history of the universe, the greatest manifestation of love. Unfortunately, many didn’t show up or turn up to ask the crucifixion of the Living God.

Other gloomy example is Mary Madeleine:

  • “Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, Sir, if you have carried Him away from here, tell me where you have laid Him and I will take Him away.” (Joh 20:15)

In virtue of she couldn’t tell Jesus apart from other human being, the resurrection, that should be the best news of all times, was turned into the most abhorrent news: as if it wasn’t suffice Jesus’ death, His body seemed to have been stolen. Be careful for not confounding blessing with curse (and vice-versa).

And what about the disciples of Emmaus?

  • “And while they talked and reasoned, it happened that Jesus Himself drew near and went with them. But their eyes were held so that they could not know Him.” (Luke 24:15,16)

Did you imagine Jesus getting close to you and you don’t be able to recognize Him? Be careful so that the grudge don’t blind you. May the following verse be fulfilled in our lives.

  • “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shines more and more to the perfect day.” (Proverbs 4:18).

Have a day full of insight in the Holy Scripture.
