What Christianity Is All About - Bishop Barron’s Sunday Sermon
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 มี.ค. 2021
- Friends, today’s Gospel reveals the essence of Christianity. To believe in Christ means much more than to accept a set of propositions. Christianity involves entering into the space opened up by the death of the Son of God to receive his saving love. When you do this, you are born again; when you do this, you have eternal life.

Five years of psychoanalysis brought me to a place of acknowledgement as I witnessed the darkest side of me. I then concluded: « That was so in my life. » Faith, trust in the Christ who took onto himself the source of the darkest side of me, like a black hole that sucks in matter, brought me to being new in Christ. I then fell forward, feeling for the first time that I was loved as I am and as I am not. I simply cried like a child.
Levis Shalom
This has to be one of, if not the best , sermon I have ever heard in my life. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Now I understand why we preach Christ crucified. Thank you Bishop Baron.
Thank you Bishop Baron.
Wow what a powerful sermon. Thank you. Amazing.
Amen
What a powerful sermon.
Perhaps one of the most insightful sermons on John 3 that I have ever heard. The Cross reveals just how terrible sin is in God's eyes that He could find only one way to deal with it: the substitutionary death of His Son. Contemplation of the Cross through the conviction of the Holy Spirit leads us to increasingly turn from our sin and by faith turn to Christ Whose life alone can make us holy. Once again, thank you, Bishop Baron, for this insightful sermon.
That was beautifully put.
Thank you, Bishop Barron, for another powerful Homily. This is truly the root and core of Catholicism as we sinful humans cannot save ourselves, but only by our Lord, Jesus Christ, because of the love of the Holy Trinity poured out upon us, and by abiding to His Will (mainly the 1st and 2nd commandments alike), we may be saved through His infinite Grace and Mercy.
"For the sake of His Sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world."
Hi Bishop Barron. We are truly excited to celebrate the coming of Christianity in our wonderful country, the Philippines 500 years ago. We thank God for his Grace.
Hello Bishop Barron Thanks again for the powerful Sunday sermon today re: J316. Yes indeed We Filipinos are very thankful for 500 years of Christianity and still going strong with the guidance and leadership of His Excellency AB Tagle. Thank you Pope Francis for the beautiful celebration. May the Lord God bless the awesome country of the Philippine Islands, the Pearl of the Orient Seas.
Wow, congrats! Was it by the Portuguese missionaries?
@@kanyestan Ferdinand Magellan who brought the cross to the Philippines in the 1500's was Portuguese who(pls readers, correct me if I'm wrong) was commissioned by the Spanish royalty to make expeditions to the East. It was the Spanish friars, though, who followed up on spreading the Catholic faith. For that we are eternally grateful despite the many evils that they also brought along with them.
I find it interesting how the crucifix (not just the cross) is a new bronze serpent. Many Protestants object to having Jesus on the cross in their churches, I assume because he is risen, however we put him up there, as Bishop said, to reveal our sins. Just as the bronze serpent was put up to save the Israelites from the snakes that God sent after them because of their complaining, so too do we Catholics put up the crucifix to save us from the spiritual snakes of sin.
As a Protestant I think that's a beautiful explanation of the crucifix.
@@frank_a I think you are a reasonable Protestants. You can share that with your fellow Protestants
@@kelechukwuanozyk7605 I am a Protestant and I have known that metaphor ever since.
I learne that through a Bible Study.
By to
He' always good, but This was THE BEST!!!
Bishop Barron, you are explaining so many things that have hung me up in the past and have kept me from embracing the faith. I am so grateful for you. Your bountiful TH-cam offerings are bringing me to the Lord and to the Catholic faith.
What an enlightening and inspiring sermon. When I look at the cross, I see what God has done for love of me often overlooking what we bring to the cross - our sinfulness. The union of sinfulness and divine mercy and divine love. Terrific sermon. Thank you
This is the reason why I live to hear these sermons each week. Thank you so much Bishop Barron. You are always working so hard to save us, and help us to see and know God's love for us all. God bless you always.
Nicodemus was an amazing turning point in The Chosen...he wanted so much to join with Jesus, he wanted to follow Him. It changed him in his inner most soul and he carried it for the rest of his life.
Praise to God forever and ever.
Beautiful and very powerful homily this Sunday and so fortunate since it is also my birthday. May God bless you Bishop Barron today and always
Loved loved to listen to you Bishop Barron!
Hello Bishop Barron I just wanted to say thank you for creating these videos and you are keeping my faith alive…
I’m a bit of a lapsed Catholic. I really admire the way you’ve embraced modern technology and thank you for doing this. I always find your content really intellectually stimulating and enriching.
Very nice! Come home again, my friend! A fellow Catholic from 🇧🇷 Brazil!
Thank you Father. I understand better now. Pls continue to help us bring out the meaning of the gospel. Iam closer now to Jesus because of the things I learn from your sermons. Thank you
Bishop Barron as always so insightful and teaching. I look forward to your homily every Sunday. God bless and thank you.
Wonderful, graceful and insightful treatment of John 3! Thanks Bishop. (Baptist here so I've heard a lot of sermons on John 3 and preached several myself.)
What a wonderfully fascinating way to connect the dots...and to shed insight on being born again. Amen!
I an blessed to have Bishop Barron for spiritual guidance!!
Best Teacher preachers Father, Bishop ever I love everything he speak 🗣️ s about ... I stand awe.. can now I get revelation knowledge from him God bless his ministry his life and everything about him and may he prosper and always with God love you father and Bishop Byron teacher preacher everything
GREAT sermon...I receive so much from your sermons..thank you
To continue each Sunday at Mass where we offer Jesus in sacrifice to God the father.
So each Sunday we can come to face the Cross and remember.
May the words of the Holy Gospel wipe away our sins.
Much thanks🙏 I now understand why I was angry while looking upon the crucified Jesus. It wasn't that I hated him, which I've beat myself up for. But that I hated the acts of my trespassers.
I have been a Catholic since birth and never heard my faith explained this way. Tthis sermon
is so amazing that I am
stunned......and beyond grateful for Fr Barron....maybe there is hope for us since God has sent Fr Barron at this time.
Another *Master Class* from Bishop Barron. For all those who wrestle with acknowledging or accepting Christianity - *if this doesn't work, what else may?*
The best explanation of the crucifixion, and the fundamental understanding of Christianity! Every Christian; every human being for that matter, needs to hear this! Thank you Bishop Barron.
Brought to gentle tears. If asks me why I cross myself at every meal, why I wear a Crucifix, or why I display one on my desk at work, I can refer to this sermon as it best articulates what I see & believe.
Bishop Barron’s sermons are always of a very high standard indeed, but this one is absolutely brilliant and very moving. Thank you, Father.
Their emphasis on this born again experience is by far the very best thing about Protestants. Thank you, Jesus, for this message. Please unite us in your love.
I love how you put together, that not only when we look at the cross do we see our sin, but simultaneously we see Christ's mercy and forgiveness. Beautiful!
The sequence of Nicodemus's interaction with Jesus, is significant to learn the basis of God's spiritual gift of rebirth in the spirit.
Thank you bishop,
Thank you dear bishop for your inspirational homily and other talks.
Thank you Bishop, inspiring homily
I feel like I am on the right path 😭😭 I literally saw the chosen episode 7 last night and today I came across this video where Bishop Robert Barron talks about episode 7 😭 I don’t think this is a coincidence I think Jesus is guiding me to the path for eternal life❤️ I feel beyon blessed. I will continue this journey with allowing Jesus in my heart.
Thank you Bishop Barron's for the sharing explanation of today Gospel and I finally get a deep understanding of the Crucified Jesus on the Cross. Thank you once again, and may God bless you always. 🙏🙏
Thank you and God Bless, Bishop Barron!
This was probably one of the best sermons I have ever heard. It brought a deeper level of understanding and inevitably tears.
Inspiring as well as encouraging reflection.
Open my eyes, Lord. I want to see as you see, I want to see the world and myself with your eyes of mercy, your gaze of love. Jesus, I trust in you!
Thanks!! Amazing!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
Thank you Bishop Barron I am going to listen again . Beautiful
Beautiful explained

Thank you Bishop Baron for sharing your talents with us and bless you and keep you safe
So powerful. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Wow! That was a beautiful sermon. Thank you Bishop Barron.
Absolutely powerful..."JESUS Came to make us New Creations"...What A "Leading" In The LIGHT...DEO Gratias!!!...For The Wonderful Gift of Bishop Barron's Heart that's Open To The Unfolding of Such Revelatory Truths!!!
"... we see our sin swallowed up as we gaze on the Cross..." Thank you, BB.
Thank you so beautiful
A magnificent sermon. Thank you, Bishop Barron!
Beautiful homily thanks Bishop.
One thing about the image of Jesus crucified that I find fascinating is that not only is it an image of what our sin does to God but what sin does to us. We are nailed down by our sins and to our sins, rendered powerless and addicted to them; even if we want to be free of our sin we cannot. Sin isolates us and like crucifixion we are naked and cold and afraid, suffering the immense pain of being separated from the warmth and life of God and loving community, put to shame before all. Sin also brings on a slow spiritual asphyxiation where we are closed off from the the fresh air of Heaven, unable to take in what we need from the Spirit of Love that gives Life itself. Sin doesn't kill us right away after the first offense, but it leads down a path of agony that leads to a slow tortuous death of the soul.
This is what Jesus entered into, this is what He conquered. He has made sin and death the place where we find Salvation, in our powerlessness and desperation we find God Himself.
Thank you Bishop Barron. I look forward to hearing your words every week. You bring me closer to God.
Wonderful sermon father, so much explained to me here. Thank you so much, and do you know something just occured to me. The lessons in this video couldn't be more important for the whole world - and yet it comes to us free in a you tube video. You could spend thousands, millions of pounds on material things, go to the ends of the earth looking for happiness, and all that cost and effort would leave you completely empty. And yet boundless, endless peace and happiness comes to us as a free gift.
The world needs to stop following this fad or that material thing, save all that effort and worry and upset and realise all we need is given for free. We don't even need to leave our armchair. God bless you and your ministry, the work you do couldn't be more important.
Amen 🙏🙏 Thank you
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏Holy Spirit Guide us and direct our paths 🙏
Thank You Bishop Barron for showing us the true light and teaching us to move away from the darkness that befalls us from time to time. Love from Malaysia
Jesus on the cross was with God the Father and the Holy Spirit, all must have shared in his suffering.
Such a moving homily! Thanking God for the Word on Fire and especially our beloved Bishop Barron!
I pray for you n your team Bishop Barron, for your mission n in appreciation for all that give, all that you do.
Your sister in Christ.
Bishop Barron is a first rate Bible scholar, exegete, and preacher. Thank God for this gift in our troubled times.
Thank you Bishop Barron! That was a beautifully powerful homily on many levels.
Amén, glory be to God. Thank you Bishop Barron, peace be with you.
wow really good. thank you, ima steal that for my Bible Study
Amen. By Jesus we have eternal life.
Related to Jesus speaking to Nicodemus, I recommend watching that scene from "The Chosen", absolutely moving! It gives a lot of life to today's Gospel
The truth will set us free If we don't see the ugliness of sin and the goodness of God so beautifully reflected on.
Powerful words Bishop Barron! Thank you for all that you and your team do.
My favorite scene in Chosen series!!
Christ is the "great Healer"...!
Jesus, Mary and st. Joseph graciously teach us holiness.
Ps 40:3, Jn 3:14-21
Dear Lord, Bless our family. Be so kind as to give us the unity, peace, and mutual love that You trust in Your own family in the little town of Nazareth.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Bishop Barron is truly a "gift" to the Body of Christ, from the healing Mercy of our Lord...!
Excellent ! Thank you Bishop Barron . The truth will set us free !!! Amen
Praise God. To be born again is to become aware that without God we are nothing...
Thank you Bishop Barron for your always inspiring sermons. You bless us with your messages
Thank you Bishop Barron. Another wonderful homily..Really touched my mind & heart today! God Bless! 🇨🇦✝️❤️🙏🏽
I'm in the process of accepting God into my life and thinking about whether or not I wanna become a christian and this helped, it really resonated, thank you.
I will pray for your journey to Catholisism
I prayed for you. :)
@@elainezimmer8813 thank you so much!!
@@rhwinner thank you I really appreciate it!
Come on home to holy mother church!! You won’t ever regret it!
Yes, by people seeing Jesus, they see their own sin. Its the main reason why people do not want to hear of Christianity nor of any scriptures. Its like facing Jesus and realizing your sins, imperfections.
Thank you Bishop Barron. I continue to learn Catholic faith through your sermons and Word on Fire on TH-cam TV. I am always greatly inspired by your knowledge. It started for me with your series 'Catholicism'.
God bless you Bishop Barron. Great message! 🙏🙏
Dear Bishop Barron, I look forward to your homily every Sunday. It feeds my soul! Thank you so much!
You are amazing as always, thank you and God Bless
Excellent sermon. Through Jesus I find love, mercy and salvation!
Your Excellency Bishop Barron. Very powerful message. Thank you.
Outstandingly moving
Bishop Barron thank you! I have been thinking about Good Friday a lot lately, and sometimes I think we only see Good Friday as us seeing our sin and as you say the mercy of God (which of course is true and it speaks to my next thought in truth, not against it) but what we also see when the Son of Man is lifted up is the enthronement of God, yes it was intended to be mocking, but when we understand who Jesus is, that He gave Himself for the life of the world, that He is the face of the invisible God. Our God is not Zeus, He does not throw lightening bolts and He does not cast down our enemies nor His with might, but His might, His power, the Divine power is the power of the Lamb, the Kenosis, self emptying of Christ. We see what it is to be God fully, not just the defeat of sin, but the revelation of God, our God crowned with thorns and enthroned upon the cross from which He rules the world (as the vexilla regis says) Great Video
This makes me think of the first chorus of Bach's Johannes Passion: "Lord, our ruler [...] show us through your passion, that you, the true Son of God, [...] even in the most lowly state, are glorified." ("Herr, unser Herrscher [...] zeig uns durch deine Passion, dass du, der wahre Gottessohn, [...] eben in der größten Niedrigkeit, verherrlicht worden bist.")
Because I Trust Jesus, I shall not perish, but have everlasting Life.
Being Baptised is the Key for the 1st Lock Trust Unlocks the 2nd Lock to the gates of eternity.
Jesus on the cross my sins and forgiveness of my sins!
Amen and Thankyou ❤️🙏🏻💯
Thank you Jesus and thankful for Bishop Barron
Awesome put into words.. Have a wonderful Sunday Bishop!
Sending prayers your way H.E. Barron. Thank you a beautiful Sermon. Word on Fire 🔥 has changed my life drastically. Amazing Grace is all I can say.
Wonderful, as always. God bless you, father Barron.
Wonderful meditation on Jesus on the cross, showing us how ugly our sins are and how his love is infinitely stronger than our sins and death itself. I think of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel image of the serpents biting people in the desert and the bronze serpent on a pole that people looked at to be healed. Wonderful. God bless you
So grateful for you your profound teaching of Jesus Crucified and what he has done for us....All is Gift!
Blessings and continued prayer for you on your continued preaching of God’s love,
Sr. Brigid
