He who comes from above is above all.

You like to solve puzzles, puzzles, crossword puzzles for your inner enrichment. He who reads the Gospel today gets into the role of a deciphered, who can be enriched not only for this world but can also serve him for eternity. Let’s judge. Jesus says to Nicodemus, “He who comes from above is above all” (Jn 3: 31-32).

Those who compiled liturgical texts omitted the entire ten verses between yesterday’s and today’s text from the Gospels. In the previous text, John the Baptist gave a testimony of Jesus. Today, the Lord Jesus speaks of a double testimony. “He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks earthly” (Jn 3:31). He meant John the Baptist. (Jn 3,31-32). And that’s Jesus. From this, we know that man can accept Christ and his words, but he can also reject them. He who accepts them becomes a Christian and at the same time accepts the word of God. However, this does not end everything. Christian tasks await. It is our duty to pass on this knowledge of Christ to others. In the Gospel, therefore, we reveal the mystery of the person of the Lord Jesus, acknowledging that he is God’s envoy, the Savior of the world, but also the Judge of all. We are all witnesses. Even John the Baptist is only a witness, even though we consider him the greatest born of a woman.

Like John the Baptist, the baptism we have received also obliges us to bear witness to Christ. This means that not only our words but our whole lives are to speak of Christ. At the same time, the Christian must not put himself before Christ. Like John, the Christian stands aside as a witness because he is only a mediating element between the two sides. Let us ask God for the light of faith so that we can bear a good testimony that is credible and does not obscure the truth.

Although we accepted baptism as children and did not realize its significance for our earthly and eternal lives, in a state where we have acquired the use of reason and are aware of our responsibility to have free will, we should multiply baptismal grace. Knowing Christ is the duty of every baptized person. Prayer – conversation with Jesus, Holy Mass – meeting with Jesus, sacrament – receiving Jesus. All this is not only our duty but also our need because by doing so, we are fulfilling what God rightly expects of us, but at the same time, we are gaining the necessary merits, without which salvation is not possible. From the earliest days of Christianity, followers, including us, have been called Christians. We have a name after Christ, and therefore a duty to truly bear witness to Christ after baptism.

There are many things in faith that we will never know or know completely. We accept many things, we believe, and although we cannot explain them, we feel that this does not prevent us from accepting them. The personality of Christ is the culmination of our lives.
