First reading – Jeremiah 23:5-8
Through the word of Prophet Jeremiah, the Lord is announcing the effect of incarnation. What is going to happen with the coming of the Lord! He will reign as true king and wisdom. The wisdom of God is going to be shared with us. And He will be practising honesty and integrity in the land. The Lord will bring justice on earth. The Lord will save us from all that try to keep us as slaves. The grace which is going to be attained through the incarnation is going to be liberate us from our sins. Moreover, we can live in confidence. Not about the fear of our errors and sins. We are sure that the Lord will forgive us. All the more, the Lord will be called “The Lord-our-integrity”, because we share His dignity. We become sons and daughters of God because He is our integrity. Lastly, all of us will be able to live in our land because this grace is not taking away our freedom but giving us the freedom to live our life with our responsibility as sons and daughters. Let’s reflect. Do I recognize that the incarnation of God made me a son or daughter of God?
