came the chosen location for this fulfillment of God’s promise.
The message to all Christians is to embrace the Messi-ah with reverence and love. There is no doubt about the life of Jesus. St. Paul disbelieved Jesus, but Jesus introduced himself to him: I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. God speaks to us from our doubts. The Messiah is in the world and many have embraced him. Jesus said, “I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” (Rev. 3. 20). Will you introduce Jesus to those living in doubt?
Keep smiling!

INTRODUCING JESUS OF NAZARETH
R . V C. Y , P V
After the celebratory engagements of Christmas and New Year, we face the next stage in God’s revelation about the per-sonality of Jesus. The work of John the Baptist is not yet over. There is one important event that he has to accomplish: Intro-duce Jesus.
Right from the beginning, John the Baptist refused to accept that he was the Messiah. He did not know Jesus when he was baptizing people by the Jordan River. In fact, he was performing all the baptisms by the river so that the personality of the Messiah could be identified. After so many baptisms, Jesus appeared before John needing to be baptized like others. It was at this encounter that John recognized Jesus by the signs God revealed to him.
Biblical theologians give us many signs, but we note two significant signs here only. The first sign is the appear-ance of the Spirit upon Jesus like a dove. The second sign is the divine confirmation through the voice of the Father. John knew that Jesus was the Chosen One.
When John confirmed these signs were in place, he had no other option than to proclaim, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. He is the one.” He went ahead to introduce Jesus to the people of Israel. The long awaited Messiah proclaimed by the prophets is here. We can now say goodbye to him and wish him well in his future en-deavors. We know that John the Baptist underwent a gruesome death of beheading for speaking the truth in the hands of King Herod and his wife Herodias.
For Christians today, we need to reflect on this narra-tive of God’s revelation to us and appreciate the heroes for their roles. The villains remain in this capacity. Other than John the Baptist, we need to appreciate the divine messenger who announced to Joseph not to be afraid to take Mary home. We also need to appreciate Mary for respecting the Angel who announced to her the birth of a son, and he is to be named Jesus. Both Mary and Joseph did their roles in supporting Je-sus until he began his public ministry. We also need to appre-ciate the visit of the magi who came from the east bringing to Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The presence of the magi at the crib of Jesus signify to us the universality of God’s love and mercy open to all nations other than to the peo-ple of Israel alone. And now we point out one villain. In the narrative, King Herod is the greatest villain because of his jeal-ousy about the new born King forcing Joseph and Mary to flee with Jesus to Egypt for refuge.
In the narrative of the prophets, Isaiah stands out about the shining light of the Messiah. He says, “The Lord said to me: You are my servant, Israel, through whom I show my glory. . . I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach the ends of the earth.” Jesus is the shin-ing light for all the nations to see the glory of God. The proph-ecy of ancient times reflected the anxiety and expectations of the personality of the Messiah. John the Baptist recognized him and pointed him out to the people of Israel. The people of Israel knew that he was to come through the Davidic lineage, born of the house of Judah. Oh yes, Bethlehem of Judah be-

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND THANK YOU. To all who are gathered in His name, rejoice and be glad, for yours is the kingdom of God. Just a quick note to say Happy New Year and Thank You. St Paul’s is truly blessed with the donations from our generous parishioners, families and visitors. During the Christ-mas Liturgies, and so far into this new year, the demonstration of true Stewardship is all around us. The Holy Spirit continues to guide us, help us reach out to others and offer the courage to ask our brothers and sisters if they would like to be involved at St Paul’s. Our ministries are experiencing growth with new members, weekly Mass attendance is accelerated a bit, Perpetual Adoration is off to a great start and the generous Christmas Offerings and plate collections to date are a true blessing. Thank you all once again for your continued support and may God continue to bless you, your families and the Catholic Community of St Paul’s.
