Sermons

How many times does it happen  that  we  close the  door return  to see if we have  locked it. Why do we do that? Because we want  to be sure. John the Baptist also wanted to be sure, that Jesus indeed  the one  humanity had expected. Therefore, he sends his disciples  to him  with a question. You  are  the one   or have  to wait  another? John personally met Jesus at baptism. He saw a dove and heard a voice  from heaven and confidently  said  that  Jesus  was  the Lamb of God. But now John is sitting  in prison, listening  to what Jesus  is  saying  and doing. But it has not yet  said that he I  Messiah. Therefore, he wants  to be sure,so he sends  his disciples  to Jesus’s reaction  was also interesting, He  says  neither  yes nor no, but  it points  John’s disciples  to signs  and  miracles that  clearly  state  that  only  the  Messiah can  these  deeds. John  was glad to receive  the  message  from  his disciples. He became certain  that  Jesus  was the Messiah though he  did not declare  it. We  often stand  unsolvable problems in our  lives or  false  ideas. Sometimes we hesitate  about  the  certainty  with which  we  seem to  grow. What do we do then? Honestly, seek the truth and go to the root of things. Man can be defined  as a being   seeking  the truth  and if he finds it he wants  to be sure, he must  not  be  content  with  half-truths and no longer  be  in doubt. Note  the  Apostle  Thomas. He  wants  to be sure that  Jesus rose  from  the  dead When he received  tangible  evidence that Jesus  was  alive, he confessed  his faith. We also sometimes have  doubts  about faith. What  to do  then? Let us  seek a priest  who will explain  our doubts with  the help  of the Holy  Spirit. We will  never  fully  understand  God  by  our reason,so  it is necessary to ask  for  the  gift  of  faith. It  is not   a shame, they  asked for it the apostles  why  we could  not ask for it. When our faith  will be  really  strong  we be happy people. We will fiel  the Job by  John  the  Baptist  and the saints. And the world cannot  give us.In Italy  a book  was published which soon became  a bestseller  entitled  Hypotheses  on  Jesus. Its author Vettori Missouri explored Jesus  in a way  of  exploring  great  personalities.After  three years  of study to a conclusion Jesus of Nazareth is really who he pretended to be. Who the first Christians considered. Victoria Missouri’s hypothesis stems  from  the  New k Testament  writings  of  witnessing  the eyewitnesses  of the  apostolic faith. This written to find  the truth and found it. We too, can  find  certainty  with  this  book. Let none  us stay  with  unsolved problems  if there are. We will also use  Advent time  to remediate these problems  if they exist. They ‘re meditated and sought the right  answers to strengthen our  confidence in the  faith. Faith will multiply  our joy  from  Christian life.
