Salvation from sin

“But before introducing him, he proclaims beforehand the good things which were to befall the world through Him. And what are these? Sins removed and done away. “For He shall save His people from their sins.” Here again the thing is signified to be beyond all expectation. For not from visible wars, neither from barbarians, but what was far greater than these, from sins, he declares the glad tidings of deliverance; a work which had never been possible to any one before.” John Chrysostom. 1888. “Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople on the Gospel according to St. Matthew.” … Continue reading Salvation from sin

Who is known throughout the world more than Jesus Christ? At the very least, Jesus is one of the most famous persons in all of human history. There is no real reason that a poor Jewish man, born in a cave in Bethlehem, should have been known by anyone outside … Continue reading Shall He Be Great
