圣西里尔·亚历山大:我从圣卢克福音书的评注中,第五篇讲道中解读了耶稣十二岁时在圣殿的事件。这段经文记载了耶稣在圣殿里与博士们辩论,展现了他超乎寻常的智慧和对神律的理解。这并非只是简单的智力展示,而是耶稣首次公开彰显其神性的时刻。他的回答『难道你们不知道我必须在我父的家里吗?』明确指出了他与天父之间独特的关系,揭示了他神性的本质。这段经文的重要性在于,它预示了耶稣未来的使命和身份,为日后他公开传道和救赎世人奠定了基础。对于当时的人们来说,这无疑是一个令人震惊和充满悬念的时刻,预示着救世主的到来。 马克·玛丽神父:我们现在已经知道耶稣是谁,他的故事结局如何,这使得我们对这段经文的理解和感受与当时的人们有所不同。对于我们来说,耶稣的神性早已不是一个谜。然而,我们需要设身处地地思考,对于那些生活在耶稣时代的人们来说,这段经文所带来的冲击和意义是多么巨大。他们或许对弥赛亚的到来充满了期待,但耶稣在圣殿中所展现的神性,无疑超出了他们的预期,也为他们对耶稣身份的理解带来了新的维度。这就好比一部悬疑剧,我们已经知道了结局,而剧中人物却仍在寻找答案。这种悬念和张力,正是我们现在所缺乏的。因此,我们需要重新审视这段经文,体会当时人们的感受,并从中获得新的启示。我们应该像圣母玛利亚一样,将这段经文中的真理珍藏在心中,不断地沉思默想,从而加深对耶稣的信仰。

Shownotes Transcript

Spoiler alert: Jesus is Lord! While the mystery of the Finding in the Temple is not the climax of Jesus’ story, for the first century man or woman, this is an attention grabbing moment. Fr. Mark-Mary, reading from St. Cyril of Alexandria, reminds us that this is when Jesus first begins to reveal his divinity. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Finding of Jesus in the Temple and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary.
