V tomto ro\u010dnom obdob\u00ed zvykneme bojova\u0165 proti tendencii necha\u0165 sa zaslepi\u0165 zanepr\u00e1zdnenos\u0165ou a nevidie\u0165 skuto\u010dn\u00fd v\u00fdznam Vianoc. Je \u013eahk\u00e9 upriami\u0165 sa na samotn\u00fa oslavu a \u00faplne strati\u0165 zo zrete\u013ea Toho, ktor\u00e9ho oslavujeme.<\/p>\n
To v\u0161ak nie je len s\u00fa\u010dasn\u00fd probl\u00e9m. Mnoh\u00ed \u013eudia v \u010dase Kristovho narodenia boli pr\u00edli\u0161 zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00ed na to, aby si uvedomili, \u010do sa deje. V skuto\u010dnosti prakticky cel\u00e9 mesto Jeruzalem zme\u0161kalo prv\u00e9 Vianoce, ale nie z d\u00f4vodov, ktor\u00e9 by ste si mohli myslie\u0165.<\/p>\n

Je to zauj\u00edmav\u00e9, preto\u017ee pastieri patrili medzi najni\u017e\u0161ie a najopovrhovanej\u0161ie soci\u00e1lne skupiny. Samotn\u00e1 povaha ich pr\u00e1ce im br\u00e1nila dosta\u0165 sa do hlavn\u00e9ho pr\u00fadu izraelskej spolo\u010dnosti.

Obyvatelia Jeruzalema boli ve\u013emi n\u00e1bo\u017en\u00ed. Jeruzalem bol centrom n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00fdch aktiv\u00edt v Izraeli. Nach\u00e1dzal sa tam chr\u00e1m a ka\u017ed\u00fd, kto chcel prinies\u0165 obetu, musel pr\u00eds\u0165 do Jeruzalema. \u013dudia boli tak\u00ed zanepr\u00e1zdnen\u00ed n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00fdmi ritu\u00e1lmi, \u017ee im unikala realita.

Boli zaujat\u00ed vonkaj\u0161\u00edmi znakmi prav\u00e9ho n\u00e1bo\u017eenstva, ale opustili srdce svojej viery. Je\u017ei\u0161 nezapadal do ich syst\u00e9mu. H\u013eadali Mesi\u00e1\u0161a, ktor\u00fd bude v\u00ed\u0165azn\u00fdm hrdinom, a nie die\u0165a v jasliach. D\u00fafali vo vodcu, ktor\u00fd by podporil ich n\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00fd syst\u00e9m. Je\u017ei\u0161 bol proti v\u0161etk\u00e9mu, \u010do to znamenalo. K\u00e1zanie na vrchu je toho d\u00f4kazom. Pon\u00fakal pravdu, ktor\u00e1 by ich oslobodila od tyransk\u00e9ho, n\u00e1ro\u010dn\u00e9ho, utl\u00e1\u010date\u013esk\u00e9ho, z\u00e1konn\u00edckeho n\u00e1bo\u017eenstva, ktor\u00fdm z\u00e1konn\u00edci a farizeji za\u0165a\u017eili n\u00e1rod. V\u00e4\u010d\u0161ina \u013eud\u00ed v\u0161ak bola vo svojom n\u00e1bo\u017eenstve tak\u00e1 utkvel\u00e1, \u017ee Ho nechcela po\u010d\u00fava\u0165.<\/p>\n Tak\u00fdchto \u013eud\u00ed je naj\u0165a\u017e\u0161ie oslovi\u0165 dobrou spr\u00e1vou o spasen\u00ed.

Rozpr\u00e1val som sa s nespo\u010detn\u00fdm mno\u017estvom \u013eud\u00ed, ktor\u00ed sa ned\u00e1vno obr\u00e1tili ku Kristovi a sved\u010dili o tom, \u017ee hoci roky akt\u00edvne p\u00f4sobili v tej \u010di onej cirkvi, nikdy skuto\u010dne nepoznali realitu spasenia. N\u00e1bo\u017eensk\u00e1 aktivita nie je synonymom skuto\u010dnej spravodlivosti. Form\u00e1lne n\u00e1bo\u017eenstvo zatrat\u00ed \u013eud\u00ed do pekla rovnako spo\u013eahlivo ako nemor\u00e1lnos\u0165.
