Don Luigi Maria Epicoco: faith conquers the world (video)

faith conquers the world: But Jesus did not come into the world to contrast His love with the Father to ours, but to tell us that we are all called to enter the logic of the same love. That is, it wants to tell us that we do not need to envy something to which we ourselves are called to live and receive as a gift. In Jesus each of us becomes a son.

The right expression is sons in the Son. But what appears to us to be crystal clear is instead completely ignored and incomprehensible to his contemporaries. But there is one thing that brings us closer to them: not to accept fully that the Christian announcement is not the announcement on the simple existence of God, but it is the announcement of the fact that this God, who exists, is our Father. .

faith conquers the world “As the Father raises the dead and gives life, so the Son also gives life to whomever he wills. In fact, the Father does not judge anyone, but has given all judgment to the Son, so that all may honor the Son as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Verily, verily I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and does not go to judgment, but has passed from death to life. Verily, verily I say to you: the hour is coming - and it is this - when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it will live ”.

Everyone wants to kill Jesus, while Jesus wants to give life to everyone, this is the Christian paradox.
