Homily What is He trying to say to me? And what is He trying to say to you? Why did He come at all? Why did we need Jesus? Why do we still need Him? Well, for one thing, Jesus came to deal with our sins. We were cut off from God because of sin. And Jesus who took on flesh, offered Himself for us. He died on the cross, and rose again. And our sins are washed away in His blood. He offers us forgiveness. He offers us mercy. He offers us love. He simply asks us for our response. Will we accept His offer? It doesn’t matter what we have done.
