FAUSTI - For Nicodemus, as for everyone, the labor that brings to light is very slow. To come to the truth is a path of progressive liberation, of small steps... And the Word itself does so. "The Only Begotten Son, the Word that has always been addressed to the Father, is now also addressed to us and bears witness to what no one has ever seen (1:18). In fact, He speaks of what He knows well. If His disciples complain that "all" go to Jesus, John complains that no one welcomes Him. To accept Jesus' testimony is to seal the Covenant with God, confirming that He is true and keeps His promise. In Him we receive the new heart, because He gives us the Spirit without measure. "The Father loves the Son" John recognizes in Him who brings the Father's love to his brothers and sisters, the Son loved by the Father. "He gave all things in His hand." Hand means power, everything is in His hand as in that of the Father. The Son receives as a gift what the Father is and gives: the Father gives Himself in love, the Son welcomes all in the same love. To be in Him is to live by His reciprocal Love with the Father, who is the Life of God.
