Tuesday of the 5th week of Lent

Lifting Jesus up

John 8:21-30

Glorifying Jesus at this stage in our Lenten preparation means knowing Jesus most deeply and believing totally in him.

Today's gospel underscores the following:

1. that without him, people will die in their sins unless they believe in him.  Here we recognize the urgency to follow Jesus as disciples would.
2. that he is directly united with the Father as the Son of God; Jesus being the very image of the Father, all powerful but all-loving.  One's life need to reflect the image of the Father in the world.
3. that he will be lifted up in the Resurrection; Jesus is to be glorified by his passion, death, and resurrection.

Let our lives be a constant experience of suffering, dying, and rising up with Christ then we shall see the full meaning of life in glorifying Jesus.
