SPECIAL EDITION | DENVER CATHOLIC
What did Jesus actually bring, if not world peace,
universal prosperity, and a better world? What has
he brought? The answer is very simple: God...
He has brought God, and now we know his face,
now we can call upon him. Now we know the path
we human beings have to take in this world. Jesus
has brought God and with God the truth about our
origin and destiny: faith, hope, and love…
Yes indeed, God's power works quietly in this world,
but it is the true and the lasting power. Again and
again, God's cause seems to be in its death throes.
Yet over and over again it proves to be the thing
that truly endures and saves.
What did Jesus bring?
