Gospel
text (John 3,13-17):
Jesus said to Nicodemus, «No one has ever gone up to heaven except the one who
came from heaven, the Son of Man. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that whoever believes in him may have
eternal life. Yes, God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that
whoever believes in him may not be lost, but may have eternal life. God did not
send the Son into the world to condemn the world; instead, through him the
world is to be saved».
Our God is all love and truth, who asks from us humility and forgiveness. Our God is the only living God. He has the word of eternal life. Observing the process of the current protests in the Middle East and many other places in the world by the so called followers of Islam, presumably outraged because they do not like what is being presented in a film about their prophet; it is interesting to distinguish that factual truth, about what is missing in the whole staging of these protests and it is precisely, truth, love, humility and forgiveness and it is not precisely from the ignorant mobs perpetrating the assaults under the direction of their evil leaders, but from the ones supposedly protecting the basic and fundamental freedoms we all in the western civilization which is founded in Christianity, have for granted.
