His death brings us together in the Father’s kingdom.

Jesus has just resurrected Lazarus. The high priests and the Pharisees are now hunting him to avoid the revolt of the people and the invasion of the Romans. Without knowing how to say it so well, Caiaphas, the high priest, will say that it was necessary for a single man to die for the people instead of letting an entire nation perish. These words, in truth, clearly suggest that the death of Jesus will save all mankind. His death will unite the people who have been divided and separated from God – This mission of Christ fulfills the words of the prophet Ezekiel in the first reading. God will gather the children of Israel from everywhere. He will bring them back to their land.

Jesus is the Messiah who came to set us free. Unfortunately, we spend time fighting it because we don't understand its true mission in our lives.

Let us open our hearts to God and his Spirit to understand Christ's mission of salvation. Through his death, Christ unites us to his Father's kingdom.

Excellent week-end
