asked Jesus:
"Are you he that should come?"
TODAY is the Sunday of Joy (Gaudete), which swept the event one of Christ crucified and risen, we focus on the joy of having God in our midst. This joy in life is always threatened by fear. That's what tells us the Gospel in which John the Baptist, in prison, is tried by the temptation to be wrong. "You're the one who to come? "is the question that arises through his disciples to Jesus the Messiah John is destabilized by this so different from what one expected, so gentle and patient.
In his prison needs comfort. Jesus responds with Scripture that proclaim the way of salvation: "Go and tell John ... For the poor and proclaim the Gospel. And blessed is he who does not find me a source of scandal. " Christ in the quotation omits the part of the vendetta, because he is the realization of the salvation promised by the Father from the foundation of the world. That is why John the Baptist can not be scandalized his humble way of presenting. In our life we \u200b\u200bare called to defend our Easter joy with the words of faith, born from the revelation of Scripture.
