Matthew Kelly has a book entitled “The Biggest Lie in the History of Christianity. I believe today’s Gospel passage “For God, so loved the world that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish, but might have eternal life”, is wrongly interpreted to be the biggest lie in Christianity. Belief in God, with the common understanding of belief, does not save a person. Even the devil believes in God, salvation is more than believe in a concept that Jesus is God, it requires living as he invites us to live.

Jesus’s meets a woman at Jacobs well and offers to give her “Living Water”. Jesus offers all who thirst living water. God’s love is poured into our hearts by the Holy Spirit. This is the living water that God offers us too. We thirst for it, and Jesus thirsts for our love.

Today’s first reading (Genesis 22:1-18) where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac is easily misinterpreted. God does not require human sacrifice, instead he is setting the pattern of the true sacrifice of his only beloved son, Jesus Christ, so that we may live and have eternal life.

The first reading today from Genesis tells us that the sign of a rainbow has a message attached to it. It seems God likes to do that for us: to attach a message to an image we see especially from nature. Learning how to recognize these messages from God, and responding to them by pondering all God has done for us, and returning our love to him each time we see the signs, is a way of praying and growing in our relationship with God.

The miracle of Jesus touching a leper really happen, but it also signifies what Jesus does for all of us. He did not have to, but he touched us in our humanity with His Divinity. This is how he saves us, forgives our sins, makes us clean, and reconciles us to himself in one another. Having been touched by Jesus we are called to go out and touch others by helping them, showing them God’s love, including them, and if appropriate sharing gods words with them.
