Resucitó

"No os alarméis; buscáis a Jesús de Nazaret, el que fue crucificado. Ha resucitado; no está aquí...". - Marcos 16:6

La Resurrección del hijo de la viuda en Naín, la hija de Jairo y Lázaro; estos son los tres de muchos milagros en los evangelios canónicos cuando Jesús resucitó a los muertos. Pero resucitaron para volver a estar muertos como perecería todo cuerpo mortal. Sin embargo, lo que aprendemos ahora es algo tan asombroso. Jesús ha resucitado a una vida que nunca va a morir.

 

La tumba vacía fue presenciada por los apóstoles más devotos e intrépidos, las mujeres, María Magdalena, María la madre de Santiago y Salomé. El embalsamamiento que tuvieron que hacer fue para disminuir el olor desagradable de un cuerpo descompuesto, especialmente este cuerpo en particular, que estaba completamente abierto, la sangre goteaba literalmente de cada parte del cuerpo.

 

Las mujeres no se molestaron ni tuvieron miedo de quién les iba a decir o hacer algo por este acto. Todo lo que se preguntaban era quién rodaría el enorme bloque de roca que era casi imposible de rodar para estas mujeres.

 

La piedra rodada es una vida dichosa y muy apreciada para nosotros los cristianos. Y sí hay una gran piedra en nuestra vida, como esta piedra que fue rodada, así será también la nuestra. Solo necesitamos tener fe como estas tres mujeres que sabían lo que tenían que hacer en ese momento sin miedo, porque amaban tanto a Jesús.

 

El ángel en forma humana los estaba esperando. Lo que llama la atención es lo que dijo el ángel. Fue crucificado (algo que está en tiempo pasado) y luego el ángel continúa diciendo que Él no está aquí. Pero id, decid a sus discípulos y a Pedro que Él va delante de vosotros a Galilea (desde un tiempo pasado, el ángel habla en tiempo presente).

 

Por lo tanto, los cristianos aún debemos proclamar que Él ha resucitado. Ascendió al cielo, reinando sobre Su reino. Hágase tu voluntad tanto en la tierra como en el cielo.

Surrexit | Raised

"Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here…" - Mark 16:6.

Raising of the son of the widow in Nain, Jairus' daughter and Lazarus; these are the three of many miracles in the canonical Gospels when Jesus raised the dead. But they were raised to be dead again like how every mortal body would perish. However what we learn now is something so awesome. Jesus has been resurrected to a life that is never going to die. 

The empty tomb was witnessed by the most devoted and fearless apostles, the women, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome. The embalming they had to do was to diminish the unpleasant smell of a decomposed body especially this body in particular which was fully torn open, blood literally dripping from every part of the body.

The women were not bothered or afraid of who is going to say or do anything to them for this act. All they were wondering was who will roll out the huge block of rock that was nearly impossible to roll for these women.

The rolled stone is a joyous and most cherished life of us Christians. And if there is a huge stone in our life, like this stone that was rolled over, so will be ours also be rolled over. We only need to have faith like these three women who knew what they had to do at that moment without fear, because they loved Jesus so much.

The angel in the human form was waiting for them. What is so striking is what the angel said. He was crucified (something that is in the past tense) and then the angel continues by saying He is not here. But go tell his disciples and Peter that He is going ahead of you to Galilee (from a past tense the angel speaks in the present tense).

Thus, we Christians should still proclaim that He is risen. He ascended into heaven, reigning over His kingdom. Thy will be done on earth as well as in heaven.

Hora Nona | A las tres

A las tres de la tarde Jesús clamó a gran voz: "Eloi, Eloi, ¿lema sabachthani?", que significa: "Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado?" – Marcos 15:34

Pexels.com

Todos nosotros en algún momento de nuestra vida pudimos haberle gritado a Dios o haberle reclamado por las situaciones difíciles que atravesamos en nuestra vida o por los problemas que enfrentan nuestros allegados. Podríamos habernos sentido solos o totalmente abandonados por todos, incluso por Dios. Algunos santos han llamado a este tiempo la noche oscura del alma. Fue uno de esos momentos para Jesús en la cruz. Todos sabemos que la relación íntima que Jesús tenía con su Padre era tan fuerte. Nos sentimos tan libres de dejar nuestras dificultades a alguien con quien mantenemos una estrecha relación. Jesús también hizo lo mismo en la cruz.

 

Jesús, de hecho, estaba haciendo una oración a su amado Padre desde la cruz al recitar el Salmo 22: 1 – "Dios mío, Dios mío, ¿por qué me has abandonado? ¿Por qué estás tan lejos de salvarme, tan lejos de mis gritos de angustia?" Jesús clamó a su Padre como lo haría cualquier niño. También siento que no hay nada de malo en clamar a Dios nuestro Padre en nuestros momentos de desesperación. Incluso ayuda hasta cierto punto en nuestro crecimiento espiritual. Pero, por supuesto, también necesitamos tener una relación cercana con Dios el Padre tal como la tuvo Jesús.

 

Cuando marca las 3 pm en el reloj todos sabemos que es la hora de la Divina Misericordia. Es la hora en que Jesús destruyó el mal, la muerte y venció al mundo. Es la hora en que Jesús ganó la misericordia más que la justicia de Dios. Es la hora donde vemos la culminación del amor de Dios. Esta es exactamente la hora en que se hace realidad, Juan 3:16 – "Porque de tal manera amó Dios al mundo que dio a su Hijo unigénito, para que todo el que cree en él no se pierda, sino que tenga vida eterna".

 

Hagamos una pausa de unos segundos cada 3 de la tarde y demos gracias a Dios por su amor por el mundo entero.

Crucifige eum | Crucify him

Pilate asked them, 'Why, what evil has he done?' But they shouted all the more, 'Crucify him!' - Mark 15: 14.


Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com

Reflecting on the interactions between Pilate, Jesus and the crowds. Pilate, as the governor representing the authority of Rome, had every power bestowed on him to free Jesus. He was even warned by his wife who had troubling dreams of the fate of this righteous man arrested before Pilate. Yet like many of us, who at times yield to the continual pressures of the people around, who will pressure us into making decisions that go against our own conscience, Pilate made the irreversible decision to free a violent criminal and sentenced Jesus to a long-drawn and painful death by crucifixion. 

I'm amazed at the calmness of our Lord who amid His violent and vociferous enemies, had kept His peace and was wholly surrendered to the salvation plan of our Heavenly Father. This event is depicted with much graphic details by the prophet Isaiah (600 years before our Lord's birth) in Isaiah 53:7-10:

7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth.
8 By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future?
For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people.
9 They made his grave with the wicked and his tomb with the rich, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him with affliction. When you make his life an offering for sin, he shall see his offspring and shall prolong his days; through him the will of the Lord shall prosper.

As I reflected further on the trial scene written by Mark and the prophetic writings of Isaiah 53, I wonder too: how many times have I crucified our Lord, when I acted or spoke unkindly to another person (who is also made in the image of God). How many times have I succumbed to pressures from people around me and like the crowd had shouted, "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" 

As the hymn writer had penned for us: "It's beyond my comprehension how a sinless Saviour could die for a sinful man like me."

How Deep The Father's Love For Us 
How deep the Father's love for us 
How vast beyond all measure 
That He should give His only Son 
To make a wretch His treasure 
How great the pain of searing loss 
The Father turns His face away 
As wounds which mar the Chosen One 
Bring many sons to glory

I will close my sharing with the words from Man of Sorrows:

Man of sorrows, Lamb of God
By His own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid

Silent as He stood accused
Beaten, mocked, and scorned
Bowing to the Father's will
He took a crown of thorns

Oh, that rugged cross, my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out, "Hallelujah"
"Praise and honour unto Thee"

Sent of heaven God's own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree

Oh, that rugged cross, my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out, "Hallelujah"
"Praise and honour unto Thee"

Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
Oh, is free indeed

Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
Oh, is free indeed

Oh, that rugged cross my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out, "Hallelujah"
"Praise and honour unto Thee"

See the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah, God be praised
He's risen from the grave

Oh, that rugged cross my salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out, "Hallelujah"
"Praise and honour unto Thee"
"Praise and honour unto Thee"

A longe | Distancia

"Pedro lo había seguido de lejos, hasta que llegó al patio del sumo sacerdote" - Marcos 14: 54


Pexels.com

La Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Jesús son hermosos hechos de cómo la humanidad fue reconciliada con Dios. Dios Creador nos amó tanto que envió a su único Hijo amado para ser ofrecido como sacrificio (Jn 3:16). Cuando reflexiono sobre las situaciones de guerra en todo el mundo hoy, entiendo lo difícil que debe haber sido para Dios enviar a Su amado Hijo a morir de una muerte horrible por nosotros. Para nuestra reflexión de hoy tenemos Marcos 14:53-72 que narra una parte de la Pasión de Cristo, que es Jesús ante el Sanedrín, y Pedro repudiando a Su amo. Los cuatro Evangelios presentan estos relatos.

 

Jesús siendo inocente, estaba ahora ante el Sumo Sacerdote y este era su segundo juicio. El proceso no se realizó de acuerdo con la Ley de los judíos y, por lo tanto, el juicio en sí fue ilegal. La justicia y la verdad son pilares importantes para establecer el Reino de Dios. Cuando estos se justifican indebidamente y no se practican; el orgullo, el ego y la corrupción pueden cambiarnos tal como lo hicieron con los fariseos, los saduceos y otros que llevaron a Jesús ante el Sumo Sacerdote.

 

Jesús siendo la víctima nos enseña cómo hay que soportar las pruebas y pruebas falsas que se nos presentan de vez en cuando. Cuando nos equivocamos, o incluso cuando se nos culpa falsamente, debemos comportarnos como Jesús para dar paso a que se establezca la Justicia y la verdad. Eso nos hace atractivos en nuestra vida cristiana y nos ayuda a dar un verdadero testimonio de Cristo ante los demás. Examinemos nuestra conducta cuando hacemos parte de las pruebas. Lo más importante es que examinemos si inicio pruebas y pido a otros que también sean parte de ellas, mientras condenó a aquellos que pueden habernos hecho mal o de quienes estamos envidiosos.

 

Al final del juicio, todos condenaron a Jesús por blasfemia y luego vino otro golpe. Pedro niega a su amo y lo deja a su suerte. Pedro, ante todo, siguió a Jesús desde la distancia. Cuando seguimos a Jesús desde la distancia, nosotros tampoco podemos defendernos adecuadamente con Jesús en tiempos difíciles. En segundo lugar, Pedro se asoció con los sirvientes dejando atrás la compañía de Jesús. Luego niega a Jesús tres veces ante ellos.

 

El punto de reflexión para nosotros es: ¿cuántas veces negamos a Jesús en nuestra vida cotidiana al no vivir vidas cristianas honestas? Las personas son importantes y al mismo tiempo, las enseñanzas de Cristo son lo primero para nosotros. La justicia, la verdad, acompañar a los agraviados, dar un verdadero testimonio de nuestras creencias y permanecer en contacto con las enseñanzas de Cristo leyendo la Palabra de Dios todos los días, son formas en las que seguimos a Cristo de cerca y no a la distancia.

 

Pidamos al Señor que nos bendiga con la gracia de trabajar como agentes del Reino de Dios viviendo como Él vivió y dando testimonio de Él en todos los sentidos. Cuando nos equivocamos, como Pedro, siempre podemos arrepentirnos y luego llevar una vida santa.

Hora Nona | At three

At three o' clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?"which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" – Mark 15:34


Photo by Wallace Chuck on Pexels.com

All of us at some point of our life might have yelled at God or complained to him for the difficult situations that we go through in our life or for troubles faced by our close ones. We might have felt left alone or totally abandoned by all, even God. Some saints have called this time the dark night of the soul. It was one such moment for Jesus at the cross. We all know that the intimate relation Jesus had with his Father was so strong. We feel so free to put our difficulties to someone with whom we are close with. Jesus also did the same at the cross.

Jesus was in fact making a prayer to his beloved Father from the cross by reciting Psalm 22:1 –"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?" Jesus cried out to his Father just like any child would do. I also feel that there is nothing wrong in crying out to God our Father in our desperate moments. It even helps to some extent in our spiritual growth. But of course we also need to have a close relationship with God the Father just like Jesus had.

When it ticks 3 pm on the clock we all know that it is the hour of Divine Mercy. It is the hour where Jesus destroyed evil, death and conquered the world. It is the hour where Jesus won over for us mercy rather than God's Justice. It is the hour where we see the culmination of God's love. This is exactly that hour where John 3:16 –" For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life," comes true. 

Let us pause for a few seconds at every 3 pm and thank God for his love for the whole world.

A longe | Distance

"Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into the court of the high priest" - Mark 14: 54

Photo by Jonathan Schmer on Pexels.com

Jesus's Passion, Death, and Resurrection are beautiful facts of how humanity was reconciled to God. Creator God loved us so much that He sent his only beloved Son to be offered as a sacrifice (Jn 3:16). When I reflect on war situations around the world today, I understand how difficult it must have been for God to send His beloved Son to die a horrible death for our sake. For our reflection today we have Mark 14:53-72 which narrates a part of the Passion of Christ, which is Jesus before the Sanhedrin, and Peter disowning His master. All four Gospels give these accounts.

Jesus being innocent, was now before the High Priest and this was his second trial. The process was not done in accordance with the Law of the Jews and thus the trial itself was illegal. Justice and truth are important pillars in establishing the Kingdom of God. When these are wrongly justified and not practiced, pride, ego, and corruption can twist us just as it had twisted the Pharisees, the Sadducees and others who brought Jesus before the High Priest. 

Jesus being the victim teaches us how one must endure trails and false trials that come our way every now and then. When we are wrong, or even when we are blamed falsely, we must conduct ourselves like Jesus to give way for Justice and truth to be established. That makes us graceful in our Christian lives and helps us bear true witness to Christ before others. Let us examine our conduct when we become part of trials. Most importantly, let us examine if I initiate trials and ask others also to be a part of them while condemning those who may have done wrong to us or of whom we are jealous.

At the end of the trial, they all condemned Jesus for blasphemy and then comes another blow to Jesus. Peter denies His master and leaves Him to fend for Himself. Peter first and foremost followed Jesus from a distance. When we follow Jesus from a distance, we too cannot make a proper stand for ourselves with Jesus in important times. Secondly, Peter associated himself with the servants leaving behind the companionship of Jesus. He then denies Jesus three times before them.

The point of reflection for us is:  how many times do we deny Jesus in our day-to-day lives by not living honest Christian lives? People are important and at the same time, the teachings of Christ come first for us. Justice, truth, accompanying those who are wronged, bearing true witness to our beliefs, and staying in touch with the teachings of Christ by reading the Word of God every single day are ways where we follow Christ closely and not from a distance. 

Let us ask the Lord to bless us with the grace to work as agents of the Kingdom of God by living as He did and bearing witness to Him in every way. When we are wrong, like Peter, we can always repent and then lead a holy life.

Negaturus | Deny me

Jesus said to him, “Most certainly I tell you that you today, even this night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three times.” - Mark 14: 30

Photo by Magda Ehlers on Pexels.com


The Mount of Olives reminds us of the passion, death and suffering of Jesus, moreover, it reminds us of Peter's very painful denial. As God, Jesus said what would actually happen in that moment, but apostle Peter facing fear, panic and despair, said that he would defend Jesus to the last drop of his blood. 

All Christians knew that the real fact happened. None of Jesus' disciples, including Peter, faithfully followed the way of the cross until Jesus was crucified.  From Peter's attitude in this reading, we are all invited not to rely too much on our own strength when dealing with such a formidable problem. As followers of Christ, we must surrender to God's will and ask for His guidance so that we don't go astray in our confusion. No matter how heavy the problem we face, we will be able to face and overcome it, if we believe in God.

Besides Peter who was trembling with fear but trying to be strong before the agony in Mount Olive, Jesus remained calm. Even though from the beginning He knew that there would be a cross and suffering waiting for Him at Calvary. His nature as a human makes Him very afraid and trembling, but He remains calm waiting for the suffering of the cross. 

One thing we should imitate is that Jesus never forgot to pray in any situation. In great fear and suffering, Jesus completely surrendered to the will of the Father. It is this surrender and total trust to God, that then saved us human from the mire of sin. 

So far, in the midst of our busy daily activities, let's look briefly at the cross of Jesus, the source of strength in suffering.

Bonum opus | Good service

But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you trouble her? She has performed a good service for meMark 14:6.



Photo by James Frid on Pexels.com


"The Chief priests and the scribes were looking for ways to arrest by stealth and kill him" - Mark 14: 1. The evil is always prowling and looking for a way to catch us off guard, arrest our thoughts, our deeds, our words, our plans, our desires. It's like the cellphone towers; they have equipment and antennas that send and receive signals to and from cell phones. If we are also giving out negative, evil, malicious, crafty signals at all times, its very easy for the evil to connect with us. It's our duty not to be trampled over by evil, not to be deceived. When it comes to evil we must be shrewd as a serpent, yet innocent as a dove.


Our duty is to seek Jesus, to always seek the Triune God.  Given in those days where there was no Facebook live, WhatsApp, or any social media or tool of communication to let family and friends know who is where. However,  Mary knew where Jesus was. She found Him, anointed Him with ointment, which means she is following Him. Do we follow him, track Him, find Him, treasure Him? This is a question to be answered by ourselves.

 

Don't worry, be happy. Trust Him, seek for wisdom with all efforts. Since wisdom is also the gift of the Holy Spirit. With His wisdom we can always be with Jesus. 

 

"I tell you, wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in remembrance of her." - Mark 14:9.  For God, a 1000 days are equivalent to one day. So when He says He will be with us till the end of days (end of times), it is true. This line says it so. Jesus is telling what is going to happen in the future. The good news which is the Gospel will be shared to the whole world. Now that we are in 2023 while I write this, Jesus knows that I was going to write this and you would be reading it. Hence, the Gospel was bound to be shared all over the world. So don't you worry a bit. He is right now with you and me. 

 

As mentioned earlier Jesus is with us at all times. He also knows who is where and what they will be doing. It's very important to listen to Jesus. He clearly instructs us what needs to be done. In this age of all sounds and noise around us, we need to be very close in relationship with Him to hear Him.


Jesus is always loving and compassionate. If He loves Mary who anointed Him before His burial, He also loved Judas. He knows his plan. Jesus is not speaking anything indirect. He says the word "betray".  He says it was better for that one not to have been born. How much does He loves Judas that He gives him a chance to repent, to change his mind and his heart. For Jesus does not want to lose his soul.


God is always merciful and compassionate. Keep listening, there is something He would be telling us. It's for us to listen.

Verba | Words


"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away." – Mk. 13: 31


Photo by Sara on Pexels.com

Dear friends in Christ Jesus, we all use a lot of words on a daily basis. Our words are human words. We break our promises made by words and sometimes we lie and again to justify ourselves we use words. Sometimes we lack words or even afraid to use words. Our words can heal or hurt people. Most often the words that we speak reflect what is in our heart. We read in Matthew 12:34 – "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks."

The words that Jesus spoke is for sure the Word of God because he is God. We all know the power of the Word of God. We read in Isaiah 55: 11 – "So shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it." If we take the example of Jesus himself he had already predicted about his death and resurrection and we all agree that it has come true. Jesus has also told about his second coming in all glory to judge the world and this will also come true. It is just a matter of time but the timing of God is not our way of imagining.

We read in Matthew 12:36 –"I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you utter." Dear friends, let us be very careful in using words. Sometimes it is better to be silent than just responding to everything that you hear. Let our words become a blessing and healing in the lives of others. Let us fill our hearts with God's Word so that through the help of the Holy Spirit we may be able to use them for the building up of the Kingdom of God.

Sustinuerit in finem | Endures to the end

"You will be hated by all because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved." - Mark 13:13

Photo by Joshimer Binas on Pexels.com


When I was a newly converted believer, I was deeply troubled by the violent images described by Jesus about the Last Days before His second coming. However, as I began to mature in my faith and continued to feed on His Word, I began to see the greater plan of God's mercy as He is preparing all of us for the coming of the new Jerusalem as described in the Book of Revelation (Revelation 21:1-8, 22-27).


From the beginning of Scripture, God had intended to be in communion with Man. But as a result of disobedience and doubt in God's Sovereignty by Adam & Eve, sin entered into creation and has corrupted earth with death and sickness. Our Holy God already had His sovereign salvation plan of sending His only begotten Son to atone for our sins in the Garden of Eden when He prophesied that the Seed of Eve shall crush the serpent's head and covered the shameful couple with a sacrificed lamb's skin.

There may be frightening signs and tribulations before this happen, but St Paul encouraged us to look forward with hope in his first epistle to the church in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). "But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope" (1 Thess. 4:13). 

I will close my sharing with the words from "Revelation Song":

Verse:
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Holy holy is He
Sing a new song to Him Who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Chorus:
Holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing praise to the King of kings
You are my everything and I will adore You

Verse:
Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You the only wise King

Verse:
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
