O texto faz ressoar notas de colorido sapiencial que atravessam os primeiros Capítulos do Génesis, e que, portanto, ressoam em todas as páginas da Escritura Santa dos Dois Testamentos, na história de Israel e de Judá, em Jesus, e na nossa história. Tudo colocado sob o tom do Dom primeiro, benevolente e permanente de Deus e da resposta segunda ou responsabilidade humana, nem sempre ajustada ao Dom primeiro de Deus, que não se pode possuir; apenas receber de mãos abertas e coração reconhecido. É assim que muitas vezes o homem passa de Dom para dono e transforma o fruto em furto. É assim que a própria Ressurreição de Jesus pode ser lida como «a lenda de um furto» (Mt 27,62-66; 28,11-15) ou «a história de um Dom» (Mt 28,1-8.16-20). E a Escritura inteira mostra um Deus que intervém misericordiosamente para curar este humano e esclerosado coração.
In the text notes ring out with the colour of wisdom, traversing the opening chapters of Genesis and therefore ringing out on every page of the Holy Scripture of the Two Testaments, in the story of Israel and of Judah, in Jesus, and in our own story. Everything placed beneath the tone of the first benevolent, permanent Gift of God and the second response or human responsibility, not always appropriate to the first Gift of God, which may not be possessed; only received with open hands and grateful heart. This is how mankind often passes from Gift to owner and transforms the fruit into theft. This is how the Resurrection of Jesus itself may be read as ‘the legend of a theft’ (Mt 27,62-66; 28,11-15) or ‘the story of a Gift’ (Mt 28,1-8.16-20). And all of Scripture shows a God who intervenes mercifully to cure this hardened, human heart.
