The Gospels show that Jesus did not use any kind of force to impose His teaching upon anyone. The Gospels also show that Jesus did not coerce anyone to follow Him. Nor did He promise an earthly paradise by exploiting people's dreams. Nor was he silent about how difficult it would be to practice His teachings. You know that those who are supposed to rule over the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great mean exercise authority over them.
Truth is a road one can follow with complete trust in order to have life.
Jesus bore witness to this kind of truth. He taught it by words and by actions and ultimately by His death. We know from the Gospels that Jesus often employed parables to convey His teaching. To look is to believe. These words from the book of Revelation, which compose the Entrance Antiphon of this Mass are a fitting summary of today's great feast and our salvation in Christ.
