Friday of the 4th week of Lent

Know Jesus

John 7:1-2,10,25-30

The essence of the today's Gospel is knowing.  "Knowing" in the scriptures implies total intimacy as in "knowing a man or a woman" or in Mary's case, "I know not man."

Knowing means knowing God's saving action, "Know the righteous acts of God" (Micah 6:5)

Knowing in Jesus' case means, it is knowing him as the Son of God and the Messiah, "Who you say that I am?"

Knowing more deeply implies that the person knowing becomes totally one with the person being known.  It means entering in the very mystery of Jesus.

This Lent, the only way to know Jesus is to change one's life in total unity with him, i.e., knowing his will and sharing in his salvific action.
