Old Testament: Isaiah 43:16-21 (Lent 5: Series C)

The Exodus always remains a continual and present reality for the people of Israel—it is always on their mind. It was and remained the big salvific event of the Old Testament, yet at the same time it points forward to what God will yet/continue to do to save His people.

Epistle: Philippians 3:(4b–7) 8–14 (Lent 5: Series C)

Gospel: Luke 20:9-20 (Lent 5: Series C)

Gospel: Luke 15:1–3, 11–32 (Lent 4: Series C)

The thrill of God’s grace fades and the slow march toward the cross dulls the heart. At such times, the former life beckons. Temptations to return grow strong. Which makes Lent such an important annual exercise.
