exposed for us... for healing...

A) As we see Num 21.4-9: THE SNAKE EXPOSED
and the wounded one (bitten by the snake) /  looking at the snake
will be healed /  stay alive !

B) The Ev John (3.13-17) likes to tell us the same about Jesus:
1. Jesus is the heavenly one
    (he comes from heaven is going to heaven, he is representing Heaven, the fulness of Life)
2. but in favour of our healing: he is exposed on the Cross!
    (Paulus Phil 2.6-11 speaks clearly about KENOSIS - HEAVEN goes into EARTH)
    The exposition of "Jesus on the Cross" is today a worldwide Symbol
    getting more and more into trouble. It`s a dangerous sign...
3. We are advised / called to look at Jesus; to give HIM our attention,
     to follow HIM - and we are saved. Healing relation...

HOW in modern time you give attention to Jesus ??? to get into a healing relation ???
Only reading the BIBLE is not enough any more...  and IMAGINATION is as such
not yet "HEALING"...  ask a good psychologist...

C) This teaching (looking at Jesus) is exercised many years by "the exposition of the
     Holy Sacrament", also named adoration or meditation. And the Eucharist: You really
     celebrate an "ANIMATION" (soul identification).

D) Today we have a lot of people exposed for us (cf. TV etc...), so many are STARS;
     and the message is all over: look at them and you are encouraged, healed.

     But pay attention !
NOT ALL EXPOSED PEOPLE WILL BRING YOU HEALING.
As Catholics we have a lot of Saints...   give them attention YES
but you also have to make a decision.
