“The Lord has made
known his salvation.”
The
Scriptures show how God has made his salvation known but in a gradual way. For example, Moses knew more of God’s
salvation than Adam and Eve. The
prophets knew more of it than Moses.
Jesus
chastised the unconverted men and women of his time. He pointed to people in the Old Testament that had
conversions—the Ninevites and queen of Sheba—despite their limited knowledge of
God’s salvation and emphasized to the crowds, “there is something greater than Solomon here…there is something greater
than Jonah here.”
In
a sense, we can say today, “There is something greater here”. While we don’t have Jesus walking
around as a human, we are more aware of God’s salvation than even his disciples
and apostles. Jesus’ work as a man
was limited to a very concrete time and place. Through the Scriptures, sacraments and 2000 years of
reflection we have the chance for the fullest understanding of God’s work in
our lives.
May
our hearts be truly converted to Jesus Christ because there is something great
here today.
