Paragraph 2. JESUS DIED CRUCIFIED
605
At the end of the parable of the lost sheep Jesus recalled that God’s love excludes
no one: “So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of
these little ones should perish.”410 He affirms that he came
“to give his life as a ransom for many”; this last term is not
restrictive, but contrasts the whole of humanity with the unique person of the
redeemer who hands himself over to save us.411 The Church, following
the apostles, teaches that Christ died for all men without exception:
“There is not, never has been, and never will be a single human being for
whom Christ did not suffer.”412
