God in Christ steps into our world because he wants no-one to be lost, and so he gives to each and all the possibility of changing their lives and being recreated through the Spirit. The heart of our gospel proclamation is always to say, pointing at the cross, ‘See how he loves you.’ and to say, pointing at the work of the Spirit in the Body of Christ, ‘See what you might become.’ So that when we seek to share the good news, we always begin with these two moments – gratitude for the work of redemption and hope for our transformation.
