Being Saved by God’s Kind Favor
Our sacraments, our rituals, our prayers and our hopes mean little if Christ has not saved us, if Jesus has not given us the promise of abundant life, if he has not, indeed, suffered and died for us.
Christ himself showed how the cross was his chief preoccupation, and how much he longed to suffer.
