耶穌的象徵性行動 | 耶穌的洗腳

-



在若望福音第13章可以看到，耶穌洗腳的象徵性意義，就是謙卑和服務，並提醒了門徒們效法祂的謙卑和服務精神，那時候，耶穌知道自己的時間已經到了，祂要遵從天主父的旨意，耶穌就以自己的行動去告訴門徒，要彼此相愛、彼此扶持，耶穌洗腳的目的，象徵着他來到世界，就是服侍人類，並為人類的罪惡死在十字架上，祂向門徒表達了自己的愛和關懷。

Jesus thanked God the Father for revealing wisdom to children and hiding it from the wise and intelligent. Being humble means that Jesus recognised God's plan and understood that God's wisdom surpasses human understanding. He was willing to reveal Himself to those who are humble and pure. Jesus also spoke a very important truth: "All things have been entrusted to me by my Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him". This shows that Jesus is the representative of God the Father, and only through Jesus can people truly know God the Father and come close to Him. Jesus described himself as a person with a "gentle and humble heart". He invited all those who were weary and burdened to come to him and promised them rest. This is an example of humility. He didn't welcome people with pride and arrogance, but with love and gentleness. He was willing to help them lighten their burdens and give them inner peac...

C. Michael Dudash, "Living Water." Copyrighted by the artist. Permission requested.     The "sixth hour" "It was about noon", "It was about the sixth hour" in John 4:6 means it was about noon and was the way Jews told time back then. Each hour was roughly two hours long, starting from sunrise. The timing might highlight when the woman went to the well, which was unusual as most people went when it was cooler. It could also symbolize a moment in her life when she felt passion and difficulty or suggest that she avoided others, particularly Jews. In Christianity, number six represents human imperfection and sin as God created man on the sixth day in Genesis. Hence, the reference to the sixth hour may imply the woman's sinfulness and need for Jesus' salvation and redemption.

The Gospel of Matthew tells the story of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. It is traditionally believed that Matthew, one of the twelve disciples and a former tax collector, wrote this gospel. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus performed many miracles, healing the sick and casting out demons. He also taught the crowds. When Jesus saw that people were troubled and lost, he felt compassion for their suffering. The passage begins with Jesus saying to his disciples, "They were like sheep without a shepherd" and he urged his disciples to pray for these people. This reflects the caring and serving spirit of the Catholic Church. Jesus compared the crowd to lost sheep in need of a shepherd to guide and care for them. The Catholic Church sees itself as the continuation and representative of Jesus, and when it comes to dealing with the suffering and needy, it should play the role of a shepherd, caring for them with love and compassion. Jesus also gave authority to the apostles and se...
