He would be the one through whom the promise to Abraham, <em>the father of many nations, <\/em>would be fulfilled. He was born of Mary, wife to Joseph of the line of David. And His name is<em>Jesus\u2014<\/em>Hebrew for Joshua, which means &#8220;Yahweh saves.&#8221; Thus, Jesus came for one single purpose:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">&#8230;because he will save his people from their sins. (Today&#8217;s Gospel)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\">Yes, let us be tolerant. Let us be merciful. Let us be kind, gentle and compassionate. But let us never forget the heart of the mission of Jesus Christ, which we share by virtue of our baptism: to lead others to salvation through the forgiveness of their sins.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">But how can they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach? And how can people preach unless they are sent? As it is written, \u201cHow beautiful are the feet of those who bring the good news!&#8221; (Rom 10:14-15) <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\">And the good news is this: Jesus has come to save His people from their sins. There is no good news then without a Savior. There is no Savior unless there is something to be saved from. And what we are saved from is our sin.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\"><em>But only if we repent. <\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>\u2026indeed His purpose was not merely to confirm the world in its worldliness and to be its companion, leaving it completely unchanged.<\/strong> \u2014POPE BENEDICT XVI, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, <\/span><span style=\"font-size: small;\">September 25th, 2011; <a title=\"\" href=\"http:\/\/chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it\/articolo\/1349601?eng=y\">www.chiesa.com<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\">And therefore, we cannot shrink from our duty as Christians to share the good news that not only is there eternal life after death, but that we are no longer separated from that Life, and what has and continues to separate us from that Life, is our sin.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Rom 6:23)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\">There is no such thing as Christianity without confession, Religion without repentance, Salvation without sorrow, a Kingdom without contrition, Heaven without humility. The scandal today, the Great Scandal of our times, is a Church that in many places no longer understands why their Lord and Savior died for them, and therefore what they themselves must do in order to become a sign of hope for the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>To repent is not just to acknowledge that I have done wrong; it is to turn my back on the wrong and start incarnating the Gospel. On this hinges the future of Christianity in the world today. The world does not believe what Christ taught because we do not incarnate it.<\/strong> \u2014Servant of God Catherine de Hueck Doherty, <em>Kiss of Christ<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\">Perhaps the world will begin to believe again when we start to live what we preach, preach what we believe, and believe the purpose for which Jesus came: to suffer and die to take away our sins&#8230;.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-family: Courier New,Courier,mono; font-size: small;\">It was for this purpose that I came to this hour. (John 12:27)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"LEFT\">May we never be ashamed to proclaim this truth: the necessity to turn from sin, because in doing so, we rob others of the joy of the Gospel, which is to know the healing love and power of the Cross of Christ that delivers us from guilt, oppression, and eternal death.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p align=\"LEFT\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><strong>The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness&#8230; Now is the time to say to Jesus: \u201cLord, I have let myself be deceived; in a thousand ways I have shunned your love, yet here I am once more, to renew my covenant with you. I need you. Save me once again, Lord, take me once more into your redeeming embrace.\u201d<\/strong> \u2014POPE FRANCIS, <em>Evangelii Gaudium, <\/em>n. 1, 3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align:
