Do I really know who Jesus is?

Reading 1: Wisdom 2:1a, 12-22
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 34:17-18, 19-20, 21 and 23
Verse Before the Gospel: Matthew 4:4b
Gospel: John 7:1-2, 10, 25-30

Paragraph 1721 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church states, "God put us in the world to know, to love, and to serve Him, and so to come to paradise." The core message is that humans are created by God with a specific purpose: to know, love, and serve Him, ultimately leading to eternal life in paradise. Conversely, we cannot reach paradise if we don’t serve God; we can’t serve God if we don’t love Him, and we can’t love God if we don’t know Him. Therefore, our journey to be with God in paradise begins with knowing Him first.
