The Mission of the Son
of God, Our Mission
Jesus
came to be baptized by John, even know he had no need for it. It was for us that the “beloved Son” of God
came to be with us, so that we, sinners, might become children of God.
By now,
most of the Christmas lights and decorations have been taken down, Nativity
scenes put back in storage. How do we
know that the Savior who came to us sinners remains with us? And what do we do to help people who do not
know Jesus to experience his presence?
Jesus
empowers us to continue his mission, the mission announced by Isaiah (First
Reading): “I have grasped you by the
hand; I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the
nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from
confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.”
