God is greater than our cuore.Il first commandment states categorically: Thou shalt not worship no other god, for the Lord name is Jealous, he is a jealous God ( Ex 34, 14 ), but probably in our minds and in our hearts no longer economic because we are delighted to build a God for our use and extent, a God ' I think '. Everyone makes its cuts, its shortening, pulls the sheet from his hand, imagine and build his Jesus as a tailor-made dress, takes the Gospel to his liking. Talking to people you realize that everyone has done its discounts to the faith and the Gospel, never opens the season clearance sales, discounts. It would be a lower price. The treasures of the faith can never go down to cost. The blood of Jesus shed for us buys and never loses value. If we put departed from him in a dimension of warmth of God's love, a gift, a sacrifice, a look, a fondness, a salvation. We allow ourselves to reach us from His love. This was the size of the Saints, like Francis of Assisi who looked to the Crucified One, not himself and was crying with love for him had the obsession to take anything away from the Gospel, to water down the depth prophetic and revolutionary. Asked and offered a Gospel 'sine glossa', without comment, without notes, literally, as it is. His conversion was due to an encounter with the Word of God and take it seriously, literally, without reason above. did nothing but obey Jesus who commanded us not to take away even one iota. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these precepts, however minimal, and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. Who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Mt 5.19 ) The summit of bad faith is the manipulation of the word, to justify our behavior: it is true that the Bible says ... but I ... We should also take away the clothes off of the frame Wear those of dispossession of self, humility and obedience in Christ and the Church. would be a terrible disappointment, having become aware of not following Jesus, but a ghost does not exist, a fantasy about him, one of our imagination, our own revised edition of him, an arrangement, a sham , a reinterpretation, a reduction. Jesus is Jesus is untouchable. Take it or leave it. There is Jesus 'for me', arranged and watered down, in my use and so far, as there are not a faith, a religion, a Christian morality 'for me'. If we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be accursed! ( Gal 1, 8 ) There is a fifth gospel, that 'my opinion' that inspire me.
Jesus is real, concrete, has a precise outline, it is not vague, adjustable, arranger, reducible, adaptable, malleable. It is full, total, all of a piece: who is not with me is against me (Mt 12.30 ) Jesus is indivisible, as his tunic, seamless, woven in one from top to bottom. ( Jn 19, 23 ) not change the color of the skin, such as the chameleon, adapting to situations, not undergoing any camouflage. It is what it is He who is ( Ex 3 14). not ashamed and not afraid of himself: 'So you are a king?'. Jesus answered, 'You say I am a king '(Jn 18, 37 ).
not do anything to satisfy expectations misleading, does not fit the roles that suit, does not lower the bar and not silent. heard these things, all in the synagogue were filled with wrath, rose up, threw him out of the city and brought him to the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, throw him down headlong. ( Lk 4, 28-29 ) In contemplation of the Cross we put ourselves in front all'infallibile image of Jesus, the true Jesus who does not deceive and do not mask, the totality of his message and the essence of your life. Many ideas imply reductive removal of the Cross, Jesus' and our own. Jesus Crucified is the fixed point, the anchor of our lives and the world. It is the life energy of creation. It is the rising sun which is heated and from which to enlighten us, the breath of life, life that grows in us, the yeast that ferments from the inside, the light of the world the heart of the universe. Changing Jesus? What change in Jesus? It is we who must change in relation to him Jesus crazy because we can not reach it and own it completely, because it is infinite, goes before us and above, also makes us great in the contemplation of His greatness. The Gospel is the Good News of God is not the book of my betrayal to the faith and God container of the good wine of my vinegar and Alliance arrangements custom-made. We need people who truly trust in God, who take the gospel as gospel. angers not realize what power, what energy, what 'atomic bomb', Jesus puts us in the hands, to be able to grant the whim of water down a message so tall and so beautiful, but to triumph over our individuality! We need radical and an exodus from the golden calf in my heart to my heart after the heart of God by the Pharaoh of my selfishness to walk, barefoot, to the promised land. Sometimes we wonder why all attempts to add other Gospels, the phenomenon of the apocryphal gospels.
We do not realize, however, that we not only try to give us other Gospels but that our life itself is a gospel upside down, disowned, false.
