Tuesday of the Fifth Week of Lent
JN 8:21-30
In Reading this
Gospel, I cannot help but reflect upon the question that Jesus asks his
apostles: “Who do you say that I am” (Mark 8:29). While not a part of today’s
Gospel, I believe that the message still holds true.
We live in a world
that tries to put God in a box. We quantify and label God, either as a healer,
a punisher, a giver, the list goes on and on. Jesus attempts to explain to us
over and over again that none of these words truly capture the essence of our
heavenly Father. God simply is, hence Jesus taking the name “I AM”.
Due to the simple fact
that God is, Jesus was able to relate to humans in their suffering. We have to
look no further than the cross to be reminded of this. Jesus took it all: the
bumps and bruises, the rejection, the pain, the sorrow, even death. We have no
need to fear, or hide, or run the other way. God is waiting, arms wide open, to
receive YOU not only during Lent, but 365 days a year!
I have to remind
myself of this often. Labels don’t fit God. Honestly, most labels don’t fit any
of us. I encourage you during the remainder of this Lent to simply look to God
and ask God for understanding. Simultaneously, try to let God take the labels
that have been placed on us and replace them with the only one that matters: a
beloved son or daughter of Christ.
