Ezekiel 37:21-28; Ps The Lord will guard us, as a shepherd guards his flock; John 11:45-56
"I will be their God and they shall be my people."
"But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, you know nothing, nor do you consider that it is better for you that one man should die instead of the people, so that the whole nation may not perish."
"So from that they on they tried to kill him."
Just a tid bit to get us ready for the week to come. Palm Sunday and Holy Week and Easter Triduum.
Here is a little something from Charlie Chaplain the man who made silent movies roar, "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
God makes a fool of himself. JEsus becomes the jester. And yet what courage is displayed as failure in the eyes of men become victory and triumph in the eyes of God for all.
We become God's children not because we desire it but because God makes it so in the passion Jesus enters into.
What seems like a failure from a far takes on another shape as you draw close and look into his eyes as he hangs on the cross. There we see the Love of God for you and I. The fool of whom it is said it is "better for one man to die instead of the people so that the whole nation does not perish" perishes so that we may have life abundant.
Is this not what true passion entails.
