Tuesday of the Second Week of Easter

“Jesus said to Nicodemus: “‘You must be born from above.’ The wind blows where it wills, and you can hear the sound it makes, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Nicodemus answered and said to him, ‘How can this happen?” Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not understand this? Amen, amen, I say to you, we speak of what we know and we testify to what we have seen, but you people do not accept our testimony. If I tell you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has gone up to heaven except the one who has come down from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.” -John 3:7-15
 
God does not always work in the ways that man deems logical. Often, we cannot see Him or His works with the eyes of the body. To see God’s works and to understand Christ’s teachings, we must throw earthly logic aside and close our physical eyes and ears so that we may see and hear with the eyes and ears of our souls.
 
To accept His heavenly testimony, we must be willing to step out from this world into the divine realm of the Father. We do this through prayer, meditation on Scripture, or participation in the Mass. Through the grace of God, we will come to accept the Testimony of the Resurrection, and once in that heavenly place, we finally understand that God’s logic is perfect, and it is illogical not to believe. 
 
Hallelujah, He is risen! He is risen indeed, Hallelujah!
