The images in the texts from the Roman Catholic Lectionary today are deeply mystical. The episodes are parables which do not yield to a literal approach. The Promise of John’s Gospel that the Word is become flesh in Jesus is a concept requiring faith to approach any understanding of this. The faith which is seen in action is helpful with these mysteries. The choice of the Divine to take on human form brings people into a relationship with Jesus that produces the good fruits of full life in their daily life. The cross of Jesus is shared in a mystical way by the Disciples of Christ. The power of the Cross continues today to bring life into situations of death and despair. The gift of humble acceptance of the will of God to bring all humanity into intimate relationship fuels the eternal life offered in John 3:16
