From the first Sunday of lent to the last Sundays before Easter,all that is read in the daily catholic readings as well as the Sunday readings indicates that there is injustice in the world.
the world could not recognize the good work Jesus did.Instead what they could understand is the ungodly modification of truth.
Has truth any form of modification? Even in a law court.What else is sought after truth is revealed?Jesus is truth and the life of those who believe and those who do not believe either.
In His time Jesus revealed Himself a thousand and one times as the truth and the life in words and in deed.The world rejected Him.That means that they chose death instead of life when He offered them life.In deed He performed many kinds of miracles that no one else has ever done.In doing so He showed us that He is God made man.The world did not believed Him.Even today.Some Christians do not really worship Him in truth and in spirit.
After all the things Jesus did, they devised a means of eliminating Him.They levelled series of allegation on Him.What they could understand well was the Jewish legal implication of His actions rather than the spiritual implications.
Allowed by Jesus the world would have crucified or stoned Him before good Friday as is the case in Jon10:31.
Where were all those who received healing and deliverance when they accused Him?Weren't they supposed to counter the shouting 'crucify Him' with their own freedom hails 'He is our savior' so that Pilate could release Him?Does it mean that their yearnings would have been unnoticed?
It ten calls to mind the behavior of Christians these days.Proclamation of the good news is fast declining.We allow evil to perpetuate because of fear of the Pilates in our day.The well to do in society pervert justice these days.The defenceless is dying silently.Everyday we crucify Christ the second time by the life dirty we live.The food we eat ,the dress we put on,the words we utter,our socio-political system,environmental degradation,economic prejudice,war,communal crisis,regional insurgence,tribal and zonal marginalisation,loothing of public treasury,leadership- is-our-own syndrome,money laundering,examination malpractice, pre-marital sex,immodesty,betrayal to list but a few.There is no doubt about this.
