Why We Need Jesus to Save Us A Short Reflection for Advent
To continue to savor the feast of Christ the King we celebrated last Sunday and to help us anticipate His birth during Advent, I wanted to post a short reflection on Jesus our Lord and savior based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 410-411):
If God is good, then sin is evil. More accurately, if God is infinitely good then every sin, no matter how small, is infinitely evil. Thus, the emergence of sin in man's reality created an infinite gap between humanity and God. As finite beings there was nothing we could or can do within our own power to bridge this chasm. So only God Himself could repair the damaged relationship and restore things to how He meant them to be in the first place. In a nutshell, this is why God had to take on human nature to save humanity.
Im so thankful to have a God that loves us so much. This Advent lets focus on growing in that love and living in a way that is pleasing to God. The more we do this, the better Advent we will have. The better the Advent, the better and more meaningful Christmas we will have also.
In Christ,
Daniel
