Lectionary: Series B (55)
  1. Jesus takes the sins of man upon Himself and carries them to the cross to make our hearts holy and acceptable in the eyes of God.
  2. When we look upon the cross, we see our sin. We also see the One who washes it away and gives life.
  3. While these are familiar words to us, frequently they are dealt with in ways that fail to take into account the context and the situation.
  4. The Church has traditionally understood Baptism as a naming Sacrament. It reminds us of our new baptismal identity.
  5. The amount of Messianic/Christological connections in this account is stunning. This is an excellent Old Testament text with which to begin Lent!
  6. Elijah crosses over the Jordan to be taken into Heaven. Later, Elisha will cross the Jordan again into the Promised Land.
  7. Even though it may appear otherwise, the LORD has power over all things, Heaven and Earth, and He has and will use that power to save His people.
  8. Christ is not only the fulfillment of the prophetic line, but He is also the NEW Moses.
  9. Jonah rejected his first call and job description and headed in the opposite direction . Now, after spending three days in the belly of the big fish, Jonah is called again.
  10. Samuel plays a very important role in preserving the line of Judah by anointing and instructing the first kings of the united monarchy—especially King David.
  11. Christ has come to make all things new, and water and the Spirit are used for His new creation just as it was for the original.
  12. The receiving and/or possessing of a gift, even one from God, is far different than putting it to use.
