St. Paul, and Jesus, Tell Us We All Have A Common Life That We Are All Called to Live. What Does That Really Mean?

As St. Paul writes to the Church, he answers a question that is normally asked of Church leaders.

The question? Are you saved? St. Paul gives an answer to the Church in his writing. He doesn’t answer, Yes, I am! He answers, Yes, WE are! Salvation in Jesus Christ is never merely personal or individual. Jesus doesn’t save us individually, then bring us together. Rather, He saves us together. He unites us within salvation.

St. Paul continues within his writing. The world divides itself over and against one another. St. Paul will have none of that division. What we have in common, St. Paul writes, is much more important than anything that might distinguish ourselves. Why? The Homily continues to explain St. Paul’s message to the Church . . . and to us!

We Have A Share in the Life of Jesus Christ

St. Paul also writes that we all have a share in the life of Jesus Christ. He writes that we all have a common life that we are all called to live . . . not separately . . . but together. Hmmm! What does that really mean?
