What would Jesus do today, if they entered some churches?
The former spokesman of the Patriarchate, Vasile Bănescu, urges an exercise in imagination, to the entrance of the Holy Patient Week.
« What would Jesus do today, if they returned and entered some churches or at all the few eparchial centers in the Christian world? Is it just an exercise in imagination, which any realistic cleric should do, to whom it cares about the truth. » (Pesah).
« As a divine son of the heavenly Father, but also as a full man (the Son of Man), Jesus naturally revolts against the betrayal and the pure (holy) reason that underlies the existence of the Temple (today, in the Christian paradigm, of the Church) and takes the moral attitude manifested concretely by the pore of the stalls, Holy, becoming like a « robbery cave ». Robbery masked by religious ritualism. Merchant in the heart of the « holy place », says Vasile Bănescu.
He also explains that today, in the Church, the opposite episode in which Jesus curses the « non -Roman fig. »
« Jesus now speaks to his disciples about the immense power of faith. About this power is the deepest through metaphor and parable, but especially by concrete example.
The instant drying of the fig tree indicates, of course, possible « drying » of any of us, those who remain careless, ignorant and stupid in our meaning, from God.
We are all « figs » who can save ourselves by fruit or we can self -punish and « dry » without the vital sap of faith.
It germinates in us so much good potential that, most of the time, we stifle and kill, choosing « the evil that we do not want ». « , Concludes Vasile Bănescu.
