Love and Sacrifice

We learn from the biblical sacrificial system that love and intimacy with God are bound up with sacrifice. In the “Binding of Issac” God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son whom he loves. On the banks of the Jordan river, God presents His beloved Son to Israel, and the Father so loves the world that he gave his only begotten Son. We also, as beloved sons and daughters adopted into God’s family, are called to live sacrificially. Although we live in an age of narcissism and self-absorption, His Holy Spirit can give us the courage and faith to believe that abundant life comes through self-giving.

BAPTISM OF THE LORD:
Isaiah 42:1-9
