The words and actions of Jesus may seem difficult and radical to those who view them only through the lens of the Law and prophecy rather than the dimension of fulfillment.
Just as the Jews in today’s passage could not fully understand Jesus’ words, we also do not fully comprehend everything happening in our lives today. However, believe that Jesus will return and that the events unfolding now are signs preceding His coming. When we hold onto this faith, we will live within His divine timeline.
Jesus' words are spirit and life. By believing – receiving - His words, we receive the life-giving Spirit and obtain true life. Accepting Jesus' words is the way to salvation and the path to receiving the Holy Spirit. When we embrace in faith the words we read and hear, and when we live by them, we receive the Holy Spirit through His word.
