Today’s reading from the second book of Chronicles
contains a sort of “mini-history” of Israel. It highlights God’s
mercies in choosing Cyrus the Persian to be an instrument of
deliverance when the people were in captivity in Babylon.
Despite their sinfulness and the deserved punishment they
were undergoing, God’s mercy was lavished on the people in
the form of a miraculous act of liberation.
The Letter to the Ephesians, in much more theological
terms, gives a similar account of a God “who brought us to
life with Christ—by grace you have been saved.” The au-
thor stresses that it was when we were “dead in our trans-
gressions” that God saved us, an act of pure grace. He em-
phasizes that it is not our own efforts that freed us from sin
(“this is not from you”); rather, “it is the gift of God.” This,
of course, is the heart of the entire Pauline corpus, that sal-
vation comes to us by faith in God’s mercy, revealed in the
death of Jesus.

LA MISERICORDIA DE DIOS
La lectura de hoy del libro de las Crónicas contiene una
especie de “breve historia” de Israel, que pone de relieve la
misericordia de Dios en la elección de Ciro el persa para ser
instrumento de liberación cuando el pueblo estaba en cauti-
verio en Babilonia. A pesar de su pecado y el castigo mere-
cido al que estaban siendo sometidos, la misericordia de
Dios se prodigó en el pueblo en forma de un acto milagroso
de liberación.
La Carta a los Efesios, en términos mucho más teológi-
cos, da una versión similar de un Dios “que nos dio la vida
con Cristo y en Cristo [y] por pura generosidad suya, hemos
sido salvados”. El autor hace hincapié en que era cuando
estábamos “muertos por nuestros pecados” que Dios nos
salvó, un acto de pura gracia. Hace hincapié en que no es
nuestro propio esfuerzo que nos ha liberado del pecado
(“esto no se debe a ustedes mismos”); sino que “es un don
de Dios”. Esto, por supuesto, es el corazón de todos los es-
critos paulinos, que la salvación nos llega por la fe en la
misericordia de Dios, revelado en la muerte de Jesús.
