Jesus Son of God

 

Part XXIV

‘In truth, this man was the son of God’

  In the end, Jesus was crucified because he was blaspheming God, because he said (as per allegations from the High priests and from the authorities) he was the Son of God. The centurion was amazed by the things that happened during the crucifixion and death of Jesus, the darkness came on earth, the earth was trembled by earthquake, the dead were risen and he got the real faith that Jesus is the Son of God. 'The centurion, together with the others guarding Jesus, had seen the earthquake and all that was taking place, and they were terrified and said, ‘In truth, this man was the son of God.', Mt 27: 54. Many other onlookers who were persecuting him got faith in Jesus and they declared loudly that Jesus is the Son of God. What Jesus is asking from us is repentance, the conversion and, at last, eternal life. Jesus's ways are not complicated, but they are truth and life.

Part XXIII 

Jesus and the Heavenly Father is One God in Eternity 

The disciples were doubting whether Jesus and the Heavenly Father are one. When we started our life in Christ we doubted the same- is Jesus and the Father one God? Jesus said: I am the Way; I am Truth and Life . No one can come to the Father except through me. John 14:7–8 (NJB): Jesus is the only way to approach the Father in Heaven. When we seek Jesus wholeheartedly we are at the gate of Heaven. ‘If you know me, you will know my Father too. From this moment you know him and have seen him. John 14:8–10 (NJB): Philip said, ‘Lord, show us the Father and then we shall be satisfied.’ Jesus said to him, 9 ‘Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? ‘Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say, “Show us the Father”? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? Jesus says that if we see him we have seen the Father and that He and the Father are one. We are blessed to be born or brought up in the Catholic faith. Br Victor says in a talk “All these years the apostles were listening the Word of God from Jesus and he never kept any secret mysteries from them , instead he told all these very clearly and distinctly, but despite this they still doubted whether Jesus and the Father is one God or not.
