About this listen

We trace Jean Valjean’s turning point to reveal how mercy remakes a life, then apply that lens to the Baptism of the Lord and our own baptismal identity. We press the claim that grace demands a response and challenge ourselves to live as those who belong to Christ.

• baptism as ontological rupture and door to spiritual life
• grafted into Christ, adopted as sons and daughters
• grace destroys sin and indwells by the Spirit
• mercy demands a response, not passivity
• identity overrules past, mission overrules mediocrity
• public witness of faith as belonging to Jesus
• remembrance as the cure for spiritual amnesia
