“Chegada a fé, já não estamos sob os cuidados de um pedagogo. De fato, vocês todos são filhos de Deus pela fé em Jesus Cristo , pois todos vocês, que foram batizados em Cristo, se revestiram de Cristo. Não há mais diferença entre judeu e grego, entre escravo e homem livre, entre homem e mulher, pois todos vocês são um só em Jesus Cristo. E se vocês pertencem a Cristo, então são de fato a descendência de Abraão e herdeiros conforme a promessa”. (cf. Gal., 3, 25-29)

Reflexão de A. BigCuore. Com a vinda de Jesus, a Lei de Moisés (que tinha a função de um pedagogo, é o que diz os exegetas) terminou o seu ciclo. Paulo assume uma posição clara quanto a isto. Com o nosso batismo e a fé, fomos revestidos da graça de Deus. Somos novas criaturas!. O homem velho passou. Agora somos criaturas novas lavadas pelo sangue do Cordeiro, na Cruz. Passamos de criaturas para filhos de Deus, indistintamente!.
Assim, todos, sem distinção de raça, sexo, desde que batizados, formamos um só Corpo em Cristo Jesus. Conseqüentemente , Nele, somos também, herdeiros das promessas de Deus, feitas com os Profetas da Antiga Aliança.
Para o cristão a Lei de Moisés (Torá), foi praticamente reformada pelo próprio Jesus. Ele mesmo diz que não veio revogar a Lei, mas aperfeiçoá-la; e assim o fez com seus sábios ensinamentos.
Meus irmãos e minhas irmãs em Cristo, nos tempos de hoje, a mensagem de Paulo, em minha humilde visão, é atualíssima e nos remete a uma nova vida. Vida sem vícios, sem pecados graves, sem ódio, sem rancor, sem inveja, sem ciúmes exagerados etc.
A vida da graça se renova diariamente na Celebração da Santa Eucaristia. Nela o Cristo vivo se doa novamente em sacrifício e redenção de toda a humanidade. Portanto, irmãos e irmãs, façamos de nossas vidas santuários vivos de amor a Deus e ao nosso próximo.
Bênçãos de saúde, paz, prosperidade, harmonia e muita alegria em seus corações. Amém!.(07.10.2011, 6a feira, às 11,59 hrs.)
WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS

"Arrival in faith, we are no longer under the care of a pedagogue. In fact, you are all sons of God through faith in Jesus Christ, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. No more distinction between Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male-female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, so they are actually the seed of Abraham and heirs according to promise. " (Cf. Gal., 3, 25-29)

A. BigCuore`s Reflexion:. With the coming of Jesus, the Law of Moses (who had the job of an educator, so says the exegetes) finished its cycle. Paul takes a clear position on this. With our baptism and faith, we were clothed with God's grace. We are new creatures!. The old man passed. Now we are new creatures washed by the blood of the Lamb on the Cross. We went from creatures to God's children alike!.
So, everyone, without distinction of race, sex, since baptized, are one body in Christ Jesus. Consequently, in Jesus, we are also heirs of God's promises, made with the prophets of the Old Covenant.
For the Christian Law of Moses (Torah), was virtually restored by Jesus himself. He even says that did not come to abolish the law, but to improve it, and did so with his teachings.

My brothers and sisters in Christ, in today's times, Paul's message, in my humble view, is very current and leads us to a new life. Life without vices, without serious sin, without hatred, without anger, without envy, without jealousy etc. exaggerated.
The life of grace is renewed daily in the Celebration of Holy Eucharist. Here the living Christ gives himself again in sacrifice and redemption of all mankind. So, brothers and sisters, let us live our lives sanctuaries of love of God to our neighbors.
Blessings of health, peace, prosperity, harmony and joy in theirs hearts. Amen.
