• 0:24
  this space of vitamin or prayer, together with Francis hermengold a few brief spiritual
• 0:30
  Bible thought capsules that entertain, teach and lift the soul. Good morning,
• 0:39
  fourth Sunday of Lent and we read the Gospel of John. At that time
• 0:45
  Jesus told Nicodemus the same thing that Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness.
• 0:52
  Thus must the son of man be raised up so that everyone who believes
• 0:55
  in him may have everlasting life. For I love God the world so much
• 1:00
  that he gave up his only begotten, that whoever believes in him should not
• 1:04
  perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send his son into
• 1:08
  the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved by
• 1:12
  him. Whoever believes in him will not be judged. He who does not
• 1:17
  believe is already judged because he has not believed in the name of the only
• 1:22
  begotten of God. This is the judgment that light came into the world and
• 1:26
  men preferred darkness to light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who works
• 1:33
  evil hates the light and does not approach the light so that he will not
• 1:37
  be accused for his works. Instead, he who works the truth approaches the
• 1:41
  light for it to be seen that his works are made. According to God,
• 1:49
  there is something more important than the reality we see and it is the
• 1:53
  way we look, because how we look conditions what we can see. I
• 2:00
  can go to visit, for example, the Sagrada Familia of Barcelona and see
• 2:05
  only stones or I can visit it as it did at the time. Etsuro
• 2:08
  Soto Chulo Soto is a Japanese sculptor of seventy- one years. He was
• 2:15
  an art professor at Kyoto University in Japan. When he decided to travel through
• 2:21
  Europe and in nineteen hundred and seventy- eight visited Barcelona, he was so
• 2:27
  impressed by the Sagrada Familia that he asked to work as a stone picker.
• 2:30
  Since then he has worked in the Basilica, following the indications left by Antonio
• 2:37
  Gaudí, he has become chief sculptor of the temple and has made more than
• 2:42
  500 sculptures for that church. Etsuro came from a cultural and religious tradition very
• 2:46
  different from that of Europe. He was not a Catholic and had difficulty connecting
• 2:52
  with the project in a true way to Gaudí' s spirit. When he
• 2:57
  knew the true intention of Gaudí, the author of La Sagrada Familia, he
• 3:01
  then understood his work and changed his life. He converted to Catholicism. In
• 3:07
  a thousand nine hundred and eighty- nine, etsuro says he held a great
• 3:13
  work of art like La Sagrada Familia. It cannot be understood if the direction
• 3:16
  that its creator has wanted to give him is not understood. Now I understand
• 3:22
  that I should not look at Gaudí, but look where he was looking.
• 3:28
  The Japanese architect did not change his technique, changed his way of looking at
• 3:34
  the direction in which he looked and his life changed completely. The testimony of
• 3:38
  this conversion is a very concrete example of what Jesus affirms to Nicodemus in the
• 3:43
  gospel we have read. The same thing that Moses lifted up the serpent in
• 3:47
  the wilderness. Thus must the son of man be raised up so that everyone
• 3:51
  who believes in him may have eternal life, for God so loved the world
• 3:55
  that he gave up his only begotten. Faith consists in seeing differently from life.
• 4:02
  Who was Nicodemus with whom Jesus was speaking when he uttered these words.
• 4:08
  Nicodemus was a well- known and respected Pharisee in Judea, a prominent man
• 4:15
  and member of the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was an assembly of wise men made
• 4:20
  up of seventy- one persons who served as judges of Israel. They had
• 4:27
  great political and social influence. The people were very concerned about the social status
• 4:32
  and opinion of society about them. Well, within that select group of Jews,
• 4:39
  Nicodemus was one of his greatest intellectual exponents. Nicodemus had heard and possibly
• 4:46
  witnessed the works that Jesus performed, and he was convinced that only God could
• 4:53
  do such works, but Jewish belief in one God made it impossible to accept
• 4:59
  Jesus as God. His soul. He was debating a dilemma and had to
• 5:04
  solve it. Inside they fought two forces. On the one hand, like
• 5:10
  all Pharisee, he was very concerned about his social reputation. On the other
• 5:14
  hand, he was a sincere man with a good heart who sought the truth
• 5:17
  in life. That is why it is understood that he would like to meet
• 5:24
  Jesus to dialogue serenely, but that he would do so at night without being
• 5:29
  seen what Jesus meant by his phrase. The same thing that Moses lifted up
• 5:32
  the serpent in the wilderness. Thus must the son of man be raised up,
• 5:35
  that whoever grows up may have eternal life. According to the Book of
• 5:41
  Numbers, in the Old Testament, the people of Israel began to murmur against
• 5:46
  God and against Moses because of the difficulties they faced in the wilderness. We
• 5:51
  are about in the year one thousand, two hundred before Christ, just after
• 5:57
  the exodus from Egypt. N n n n n n n nus, for
• 6:00
  God had brought you out of the land of Pharaoh Ramses II and led you
• 6:05
  to starve to death in the wilderness. Then there appeared poisonous snakes that began
• 6:13
  to cause them many desperate deaths. The Israelites cried out to Moses for help
• 6:18
  and God gave Moses an unusual solution, build a bronze serpent and lift it
• 6:25
  up on a stake and anyone who looked at the bronze serpent would be healed
• 6:30
  of its bite and live using that image of the old testament Jesus refers to
• 6:39
  that when he has risen up and raised up like the serpent, that is,
• 6:44
  crucified, everyone who looks at him with faith anyone who knows how to
• 6:48
  look at him and understand why. And for Jesus to be on the Cross,
• 6:54
  he will see his life from a new perspective, the prospect of eternal
• 6:59
  life, that God is love, because God so loved the world that he
• 7:04
  gave up his only begotten so that everyone who believes he will not perish,
• 7:09
  but have eternal life, because God sent Jesus to Christ, not to judge
• 7:14
  the world, but to save it. The word faith for a Hebrew is
• 7:18
  much deeper than mere intellectual adherence to ideas. Faith in Hebrew is emunah which
• 7:26
  means truth, faithfulness, firmness. One that you can lean on and step
• 7:33
  on safely. Having faith, therefore, is not simply accepting ideas. It
• 7:40
  is trusting the person who says them, is knowing, that we can lean
• 7:44
  on Jesus, because he, giving his own life, has given us eternal
• 7:48
  life. Jesus did not come to point his accuser finger at us, but
• 7:55
  he welcomed us with open arms. Christianity is not the cult of the Cross,
• 8:00
  but the worship of the arm of God that we see on the Cross.
• 8:05
  There' s something more important than the reality we see and it'
• 8:09
  s the way we look at it. Let us look at the Cross,
• 8:13
  the way in which we must see it, in the right direction to see
• 8:18
  the love of God there, the love of God in our life, that
• 8:22
