"It is finished. " it is Jesus' last words before dying: "It is finished. " Jesus went to the end of its mission. He was only 33 years after specialists. 33 years is the age of big projects, big ambitions ...
And one might almost say he has sought. If he had not talked so much. If it was not so shocked. That he could not tolerate hypocrisy. He refused to be silent. Always reaching out to the poorest, the defense of this despised and even the Sabbath. His universal love for humanity was an affront to lawyers. He was not afraid of anyone. It was not a man of compromise. It was quite the Son of the Father and on this assumption it will eventually be judged and condemned.
So how should we understand his death? And what difference does it make in our lives?
First, we must understand that Jesus is more than just a good guy. He is the Son of God, he is God. So when we see Jesus we see God. On the cross, God suffers for us is God who cries outrage is God condemns evil, God confused the darkness and it is God who shows the world his love for humanity even before talk of Resurrection!
Then, the cross reminds us that we must take our lives. no question of turning a blind eye to injustice, not about to resign along the way, no way to compromise to save his skin, no matter finally to escape reality. If we say Christian, Christians, we need to be followers of Christ, to renounce ourselves and take up our cross each day.
is given in a life and really offered that one becomes fully man and fully woman. With Jesus, accept every day to give our life to the end to get by with him to eternal life .
