The Good Word

The disciples of Jesus were not pursuing ideas as they were coming to love and to understand a person.  

Consider the countless souls, those alive today and all those in generations past, who have never been given an opportunity to respond to the Gospel the church preaches.

Once you allow a notion of yours, however right and righteous, to separate you from the community, you have become the victim of sin. You are not its solution.

The three are equally telling: here is the promised Messiah; here is the very presence of God; and here is the one who has come among us to die.
