Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners

“Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. This saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” (1 TM 1: 14-15)

We can listen to this saying again and again and will never tire of it—“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.” He came not to blame sinners, not to punish them, and not to condemn them, but to save them—“this saying is trustworthy and deserves full acceptance.” We are not only saved but also chosen to be His children. “Indeed, the grace of our Lord has been abundant.”

“God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.” (Gospel Acclamation)
