Salvation is for all. When God banished Adam and Eve from paradise for their disobedience, He just didn’t banish them from His sight; He first clothed them with garments of skin (Genesis 3:21), and promised them a saviour (Genesis 3:15), thus portraying God’s unfathomable love for mankind. When Jesus came, people saw the true nature of God in Him; He was always forgiving, loving, compassionate and full of mercy, and in so being Jesus drew people to Himself without much…

Faith doesn’t demand explanations, but it requires complete trust in the one who created us. Abraham our father in faith is a shining example of what it takes to trust in the Lord. When he was called to leave his kinsman and go to the Promised land, he left everything even though the route ahead was unknown to him. When God promised him a son in his old age, he trusted the Lord. Isaac was born to him when he…

In his apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Nuntiandi, released on the 8th December 1975 Pope St John Paul VI said that the Church exists to evangelize. For a Christian,evangelisation should never be an option but a way of life. When the Lord said, “Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation” (Mark 16:15), His followers obeyed and did just that -proclaimed the Good News to the whole world. For us believers, Jesus Christ is not just…

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love” (Psalm 103:8). When the woman caught in adultery was brought to Jesus, He neither condemned nor rejected her. She didn’t deny her sins in front of the Lord nor did the crowd admit that they had committed any. The crowd could only condemn and destroy her, but the Lord restored her. Here Jesus’ master stroke was “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the…

In different ways, both Peter and Judas betrayed Jesus and both regretted their actions. Peter repented, but Judas despaired. Repentance led to Peter’s transformation, whereas despair led to Judas’ death. In one way or another we too have succumbed to temptations and betrayed Jesus. The burden of our shortcomings can often pave the way for despair. In 1 Corinthians 10:13 St Paul offers us consolation for such times, “No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God…

Lent is a season of hope. It reminds us that after every Good Friday there will be an Easter Sunday in our lives. The door to salvation remains open no matter where we stand in life. Romans 5:8 tells us, “God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” No matter how big a sinner we are, if we repent and turn back, our Father in heaven will receive us back. The…

To love and to be loved is a great desire of mankind. The Advent season is the perfect time to spread love. Often during the Christmas festivities, we fail to focus on the fact that Jesus is the reason for the season. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life” (John 3:16). It makes us feel good to give good gifts,…
