FAULT OR FATE?

Peter seems to be pretty tough with his listeners in the first reading. He says they handed Jesus over, denied him before Pilate, asked for a murderer to be released in his place, and put Jesus to death. They must have thought they were doomed. Suddenly, he tells them they were just ignorant. And that God had planned all this long ago. So is he saying Jesus’ death is their fault, or just fate?

The answer of course is that it’s everyone’s fault. Our sins are the reason for Jesus’ death. We deny Jesus when we choose to be selfish instead of loving. We hand him over when we tell ourselves we are too busy to take time to pray. We ask for Barabbas to be freed instead of Jesus when we insist on doing things our own way rather than God’s way. We crucify Jesus when we follow the crowd instead of following the Lord.

It is only “fate” in the sense that our sins needed to be forgiven and God plan’s for salvation was through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Does that mean our sins cause something in the past to happen? There were sinners long before Jesus’ time and God knew there would be sinners after that. God also planned to forgive anyone who repented their sins. In one sense, Jesus died for those who deserved to be punished for sin, and also for those who would deserve punishment in the future. He rose from the dead to show that God’s forgiveness raises us up from guilt to a new life.

Peter wasn’t laying a guilt trip on the listeners. After all, this is good news. God planned all this to show how much he loved us. Our response should be one of joy that we are forgiven because of that love. All we have to do is tell God we are sorry, mean it, and start living our response of love. Sins may be our fault, but Love is our fate. —Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TERCER DOMINGO DE PASCUA 15 DE ABRIL DEL 2018

EL SORPRENDENTE MESÍAS Después de la crucifixión de Jesús, sus

discípulos estuvieron desesperados. No solamente habían visto la terrible muerte de su maestro, sino que sus propias vidas estaban en riesgo, pues la crucifixión les sugería que Jesús no era el tan esperado mesías después de todo. Se había anticipado que el mesías llegaría al poder, liberando a Israel de la dominación extranjera e indicando el tan anhelado regreso de que Dios volvería a habitar con Israel. La crucifixión les sugería la posibilidad del rechazo de Dios hacia Jesús o del fracaso de Jesús para lograr los propósitos de Dios.

Esto es parte por qué los discípulos se asombra-ron cuando Jesús apareció. Dios revindicó a Jesús al resucitarlo. La Resurrección reveló que las promesas de Dios se cumplieron, precisamente por medio de la muerte. Por medio de la cruz, Dios había liberado a las personas del pecado y la muerte. Dios verdaderamente había regresado en Jesús y luego en la presencia y actividad del Espíritu Santo. El dominio del pecado y la muerte se habían roto. La Resurrección fue la primera muestra del nuevo reino de Dios en Jesús.

NO SOLAMENTE PARA EL CIELO En el pasaje del Evangelio, Jesús específicamente

enfatiza su presencia corporal. Él invita a sus discípulos a tocarlo, y él come algo de pescado enfrente de ellos. Él claramente dice que no es un fantasma y que no se despojó de su humanidad cuando resucitó. Los discípulos empiezan a entender a Jesús de una nueva manera. Mucho tiempo después, los cristianos expresaron esto como la resurrección de Jesús en la carne. Jesús resucitado, tanto en lo humano como lo divino, reina tanto en el cielo como en la tierra.

Así que cuando Jesús envía a sus discípulos, y hoy cuando nos envía a todos, a proclamar el Reino de Dios, él nunca quiso decir “solamente para el cielo”. Dios busca renovar, no rechazar el cuerpo humano, la cultura del hombre y lo creado en el universo. El proyecto de Dios para nosotros está aquí y ahora, dentro de todas las limitaciones y el desorden de la vida diaria. Estamos llamados a cuidar unos de otros, a la Tierra y toda la creación amada por Dios.
