God wants us to be saved. To be saved fromsin and the pain, misery, and despair that come with it. ButGod wants to do more than save us "from" bad things. Godalso wants to save us "for" good things. To save us forheaven, for holiness, for the happiness that doesn't fadeaway. God wants what's best for us. That's why he sent hisSon. He didn't send a servant or a slave. He didn't send amessenger or a minion. He sent part of himself, his ownSon, the second person of the Trinity. This was obviously amission of great love.As we hear in today's reading, God gave his onlySon, Jesus, "so that everyone who believes in him might notperish but might have eternal life." To believe in Jesus is toaccept two radical claims of Christianity. First, that God isthe Trinity, three-persons-in-one-God: Father, Son, andHoly Spirit. And second, that God loved us enough tobecome One of us through his incarnation. We refer to thesethings as "mysteries of the faith" because they aren't easy toexplain or understand. But through faith, we can acceptthem and live according to them.In this day and age, we are often discouraged from beingpeople of faith. We are expected to accept scientific factsand figures, but when it comes to spiritual mysteries like theIncarnation or the Trinity, our culture tends to be skeptical.As Christians, we are called to bear witness to this culture.Through our faith, we can encourage others to accept thatthese mysteries are not fantasies. God has really sent hisSon to save the world! Let us do our part to help "theworld" to believe it's true. 2011 Liturgical Publications Inc.CHURCH COLLECTIONLast YearThis SundayChildren including High School 8,536.00 5,991.00 32.00
