A Biblical Defense of Justification as Interior Righteousness

Episode 95: Year B – 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time

In this episode, there are four apologetical details that we focus on that come from the readings for this upcoming 24th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B. The first two are found in the first reading, which is taken from Isaiah 50:5-9a, and it has to do with Jesus being the fulfillment of prophecy concerning the suffering servant. The third detail comes from the second reading, which is taken from James 2:14-18, and the relevant apologetical topic is the role works play in our salvation. Finally, the detail that we will focus on in the Gospel reading, taken from Mark 8:27-35, is Jesus’ rebuke of Peter. Some Protestants appeal to this verse as a counter-response to the Catholic argument that Peter alone receives the keys of the kingdom.
