The mission of the Church is to be the proclaimer of the Good News of salvation and also to be the sign of salvation for the world.
Hence the Church proclaims Jesus Christ is the Saviour and that through Him, those who believe will have the eternal life of heaven.
For us who are baptized, we need to constantly reflect on how we came about to believe in God and the Church.
We realise that we didn’t come to believe in God through our own thinking and analysing.
Rather it was God who called us and when we responded, we were given the faith to believe in God and that Jesus Christ is our Saviour.
The 1st reading recalls the faith of the great Biblical figures like Abel, Enoch and Noah.
By their faith, they were saved. By our faith, we too are saved and also commissioned to go out and proclaim the Good News of salvation.
God has called many to faith and to salvation.
Our mission is to echo God’s call to them so that they too will respond and join us on the road to salvation.
