He further highlighted some of the biblical names and titles of Jesus Christ, including Immanuel, Messiah, Son of Man, King of Kings and Prophet, explaining that each carries a unique meaning and reveals an aspect of His identity, mission and relationship with humanity. He emphasized that understanding these names and titles enables Christians to gain deeper insight into the person of Jesus, recognise His divine nature and saving mission, and appreciate His role in their lives as Lord and Saviour.
Rev. Fr Martin also underscored that, through Baptism, Christians become members of the Body of Christ and share in His threefold mission as Priest, Prophet and King. He explained that this participation calls the faithful to offer their lives to God in holiness and service, proclaim the Gospel through their words and actions, and exercise responsible leadership rooted in love, humility and service to others. He encouraged the faithful to live out these baptismal responsibilities daily, bearing witness to Christ and His teachings in their families, communities and society.
