Tuesday, April 21, 2020 - Second week of Easter - Gospel of Jesus Christ according to St. John 3, 7-15 - The Son of Man must be lifted up, so that in him every believer may have eternal life.
This Gospel reveals to us the place of Jesus as the incarnate Son of God. It is He who intercedes for us before the Father. He is the Only Mediator because upon Him, the Son of Man or Only-begotten Son, who has experience of the things of God and who dwells in the intimacy of the Father and came down from heaven, can make them known and can introduce us into His divine realm. And this is accomplished in his elevation to the Cross, which is both a revelation of God's love for man and a sign of salvation and new and divine life for those who believe in Him.
