Catechesis Notes for the Week — “Behold! The Lamb of God Who Takes away the Sin of the World!” Believe it or not, there are certain Christian denominations that believe that Jesus did not die for everyone but only for certain people.  For example, some teach that He only died for the elect, those predestined to salvation.  Not true!  Some teach that He only died for those who would come to faith in Him.  Not true!  The words of John after Jesus’ baptism make it clear that He died for the sins of the whole world.  This is an enormous source of comfort because it means that God really does love everyone, even though many reject Him.
