Third Sunday of Easter John 13:31-35
Today’s three scripture readings show us different faces of Christian faith. The Acts of the Apostles tells of Paul and Barnabus returning home to Antioch after completing their first missionary journey around south east Asia Minor (present day Turkey). The Christians in Antioch rejoice, hearing about all the wonderful things God has done through this missionary work.
In the Book of Apocalypse we see a symbolic vision of what Christian life hopes for: union with God, in peace, where there will be no more tears and pain, and death will have vanished.
The Gospel reading shows us a crucial moment when the vision of salvation was being worked out in the life of Jesus. The passage opens with the words, ‘When he had gone out’. Who is this ‘he’? It is Judas Incariot. Just before this, the Gospel has shown us that Jesus knows Judas is going to betray him and that it is night, the time when darkness triumphs. Against this wretchedness. Jesus speaks in an extraordinary way. First, he declares that in this very betrayal, God is glorifying him. Second, he chooses this moment to command his disciples to love one another in the way Jesus has loved them.
