Imagine the story of Easter being told by the centurion who led the Roman soldiers. Indeed, that army officer played an important role during one of the most significant events in Jesus’ life.
John’s gospel remains a model for you and me, for our “evangelism”, preaching and sharing a Jesus that is not limited to a space, a time, a ritual, or a generation.
This saying of Jesus “many are called but few are chosen” is not an implacable divine decree, nor a blind predestination.
