The Lord Who Orders Time: Letting Jesus Christ Be First in All

The Lord Who Orders Time: Letting Jesus Christ Be First in All This Homily explores the profound theological claim made by Jesus in the Gospel . . . . . . that He is not simply another figure in the historical lineage of Israel (like Abraham, Moses, or the prophets), but rather the origin and end of all history. It challenges our typical understanding of cause and effect, flipping our view of history upside down: Jesus, though born in time, precedes all things as the eternal Word. The homily urges believers to recognize that Jesus is not the product of human history, but the source of it. Everything in salvation history . . . from Abraham’s call to the prophets’ proclamations . . . exists because of Christ. Everything in Salvation History This revelation proves difficult, even offensive, to those who thought they understood God and themselves. The discomfort arises because Jesus demands the highest place in our hearts, above all else: family, tradition, identity, or even goodness itself. To sin is to elevate something lesser above Christ. Thus, the message ends with a call to reorder our loves and priorities, especially as Lent concludes—acknowledging Jesus as the beginning, the fulfillment, and the only true healer of our hearts. His journey to The Cross was no accident, but a chosen act of love for our salvation. Listen to this Meditation Media.
