But he continued, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins."
"Who are you?" they asked. "Just what I have been claiming all along," Jesus replied. 26"I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is reliable, and what I have heard from him I tell the world." - John 8:23-26
Today’s reading highlights the Pharisees' preference to remain blind to who Jesus is. Their high positions and ranks have overtaken their nothingness and this status has caused pride to grow within. Pride stands in the way of true conversion; we must humble ourselves and see that only God can give us any good thing. When we are humble, we will begin to see clearly.
