Acts 9:31-42 / John6:60-69
Truth is often seen as grounded in evidence, logic and rational.
It refers to the underlying principles, beliefs, or evidence that support the validity of a statement or claim as being true.
So it can be simply said that if something makes sense, then it follows that it can be true or that it is the truth.
What Jesus said in the gospel eating His flesh and drinking His blood does sound rather difficult to understand and believe.
And some of His followers were even upset by such intolerable language and stopped following Him.
For those followers, it is only when they can understand it logically, rationally and that it makes sense, then it can be true and accepted.
But when it comes to the mysteries of our faith, there are many instances that goes beyond logic and reason.
Teachings like the Immaculate Conception, the Incarnation, the Resurrection are beyond logical reasoning and may require the leap of faith.
But when we make that leap of faith, it is not a leap into blind belief.
Rather we leap into the hands of Jesus who will hold and carry us in our beliefs.
For those who believe, no explanation is necessary.
For those who do not believe, no explanation is possible.
