Description
Knowing how to engage the world around us in sharing the Gospel has been a problem the church has faced since its inception. We are directed to share the Good News of salvation through Christ Jesus, but when the reality of sin is something more and more people flat-out reject, explaining the need for forgiveness becomes even more difficult. Thankfully, God has given His church many more tools in His sacramental gifts. He doesn’t just tell us, He shows us what He is doing and what the future holds. Looking to the sacraments, we find new ways of engaging the despairing world and showing those without hope that there truly is something to look forward to, because God is already bringing it to us now.
