今天我們讀到保祿關於「天主藉著耶穌賜給我們的恩典」教導的開頭。

首先，保祿引用迦拉達人的經歷，邀請他們反思。

他宣告，或者更確切地說，他把被釘十字架的耶穌描繪在他們眼前。

他們接受了保祿的信息，並相信了耶穌。

因此，他們領受了聖神的恩賜，並經歷了聖神同在的果子。

他們領受這樣的恩典，是因為他們相信耶穌，而不是因為他們遵守猶太人的法律。

接下來，保祿將論證，藉著耶穌領受的聖神恩賜，應驗了舊約的應許，並且從起初，信心就是天主啟示所要的的答案。

保祿邀請我們再次反省引導我們認識耶穌的經歷，感受聖神的同在，靠聖神而活，並像我們如何領受耶穌一樣，以類似的方法與他人分享耶穌。 

We read today the beginning of Paul’s teaching about “the Grace of God” given to us through Jesus.

First, he appeals to the experience of the Galatians and invites them to reflect upon it.

He announced, better, he depicted Jesus the crucified in front of their eyes. They accepted Paul’s message and believed in Jesus.

Because of that, they received the gift of the Holy Spirit and experienced the fruits of the presence of the Holy Spirit.

They received such grace because they believed in Jesus, not because they observed the Jewish law.

In the following, Paul will contend that the gift of the Holy Spirit, received through Jesus, fulfils the promises of the Old Testament and that from the beginning on, faith is the answer God requires to his revelation.

Paul asks us to reflect again to the experiences that led us to Jesus, to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit, to live of the Spirit and to share Jesus with others in the same way we received Him.
