Lectionary: Series B (496)
  1. The preacher of this text should follow the logic of the text, the divinely inspired genius of Saint Paul, and get out of the way.
  2. When we look upon the cross, we see our sin. We also see the One who washes it away and gives life.
  3. At times, our Church struggles with clutter which distracts us from what is most important: Listening to our Lord and gathering at His table where we are fed.
  4. Christianity is not about principally about ethics. It was the Cross on the Hill rather than the Sermon on the Mount that produced the impact of Christianity upon the world.
  5. 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.
  6. Make no mistake, the life to which Jesus is calling His disciples is radically other than what our world preaches.
  7. We were enemies, but because of the self-sacrificing love of Christ, we are made friends, indeed, even the adopted children of our Heavenly Father.
  8. The Church has traditionally understood Baptism as a naming Sacrament. It reminds us of our new baptismal identity.
  9. This forty-day season of preparation for Easter is an opportunity for the people of God to rededicate themselves to hearing and responding to Jesus’ call to repent.
  10. While God may and does test one’s faith and life, yet He does not tempt with sin.
  11. The amount of Messianic/Christological connections in this account is stunning. This is an excellent Old Testament text with which to begin Lent!
  12. It is hard to see clearly these days. While we have never been able to see as much as we would like, today we are more aware of our inability to perceive things as they really are.
