26.03.10 CONSECRATED PERSON

…can you say that the one whom the Father has consecrated and sent into the world blasphemes because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? If I do not perform my Father's works, do not believe me; but if I perform them, even if you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may realize (and understand) that the Father is in me and I am in the Father."… (Jn 10:31-42)

 

In this passage Jesus speaks about who a consecrated person is and what he performs.

For Jesus, a consecrated person is a Son of God; in fact he is a god. So every consecrated person must be treated so. He (JESUS) is consecrated by God and God is in him. God is working in him. But the Jews took stones to throw at him. Sinners with grave sins were supposed to be stoned to death. They were not worthy to live on this earth. God himself does not like these sorts of people to live on this earth.(The Jews believed)

Consecration is seen in the work one performs. Works reveal the person behind the work. If the works are of: building up people, healing persons, uniting people, letting people to live, etc then they are God’s work. These are creative works. God is God of creation and he continues his works of creation. And HE does so, in the person who performs these types of works.

If person continues to do works of division, wounding, breaking up and destroying people then God is not present in the person who performs these works. 


Jesus is a son of God and in fact he is God because he worked the works of God.
