THE FACE OF JESUS
In all the readings for this Sunday we can look at the face of Jesus. There are two Gospel passages, both from the Gospel of Luke. The first tells of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem on the back of a donkey. Crowds greeted him with shouts of “Hosanna!” The second tells of Jesus’ departure from Jerusalem, carrying the cross on his back. The same crowds derided him and shouted for his crucifix-ion. We first see a face shining with glory, but in a few short days a face dark with blood and sorrow.
Set between these two contrasting Gospel passages are equally contrasting readings from the Hebrew and Christian scriptures. Isaiah describes a suffering servant who will-ingly submits to beating and humiliation, not even turning away his face. He knows he belongs to God and will not be put to shame. Paul writes to the Philippians of Christ Jesus, the true Suffering Servant, who willingly emptied himself to become human. But this man, with a very human face, has now been exalted by God above all others. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
