A 7 Day Journey with the Church Fathersনমুনা
Today’s reading begins with Jesus’ authority being questioned, followed up with the parable of the vineyard owner and questions of resurrection:
When the Jews questioned Jesus, they were looking for a pretext, not for faith. They wanted something by which to catch him, not something by which to be liberated. Notice what answer the one who could see their hearts gave to confound them with the lamp. They did not know the answer, because they were in darkness. After all, is not it much better if darkness is occupying the human heart, to let the light in and not to lose it? You do not know not because you wish to be taught, but because you are afraid to confess. (Augustine, Sermon 293-4)
