First reading – Romans 3:21-30
The justice of God always existed but with the incarnation of Jesus Christ, the same justice is made know to everyone. It is the same justice of God that comes through faith to everyone without distinction. Each person must be made just because each one sins. Each one is under the justice of God. The justice of God is executed through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the only son of God. God wanted that in Jesus Christ, each person comes to reconciliation with Him. This reconciliation comes through faith in Jesus Christ. “He justifies everyone who believes in Jesus”. This process is through faith and not by doing something the law tells us to do. This process is open to all without any distinction. In Jesus Christ we are reconciled to God after being washed away our sins in the blood of Jesus. Let’s reflect: Am I grateful for the reconciliation available for me by faith in Jesus Christ?
