Dear brothers and sisters,
as we heard in the readings of today the gentiles accept Jesus Christ and welcome the faith. Judas and Sillas are sent as Apostles to guarantee this faith. The Church is in fact founded on the faith of the Apostles. The Apostles carry within them the word and the faith received by Christ. Christ in fact says, “whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” The Church and the Christians carry within them the living word of Christ risen from the dead. There is no more temple in Christianity because the temple is the “Lord God and the Lamb.” God wants for his word to remain in us. Jesus Christ to be living in us. To be perfectly one with Jesus Christ and with one another. For this Christ says to us today peace be with you and promises to send us his Holy Spirit. With his Holy Spirit in us we become the temple of God. The Christian can love like Christ, be Lord over the world, because he has the spirit of the Lamb. Like Christ, keeping his word and filled with his spirit, we can give our life even for the ones that kill us.
