About this listen
Are you wondering about the opening line of the second reading that "Jesus ... did not regard equality with God something to be grasped?" Father Chuck helps us to understand it by comparing Jesus to a jeweler's son who needs to rescue radiant diamonds (us) from the muck. Jesus understands and embraces the need to become human to be able to triumph over sin as God the Son, and doesn't seek the same role as God the Father.
