The Fifth Sunday in Lent draws us closer to Calvary; it serves as something of a prelude to Holy Week. The God who delivered Israel through the Red Sea (Is 43:16–17, Old Testament Reading) is now doing a “new thing” in His ultimate exodus from the Egypt of sin and death by way of the cross and open tomb.

The season of Lent is a time of penitence, of reflection on our sinful condition and the specific sins by which we have grieved our heavenly Father. Though our penitential reflection brings us to the realization that we deserve nothing but punishment, it ultimately leads us not to despair but to turn to God as prodigal children (Gospel, Lk 15:11–32) who have…
During the season of Lent, Christians customarily focus on the reality of temptation, both as our Lord experienced it and as we experience it. Yet the reality is that unlike our Lord, Christians do not merely experience temptation; they often fall prey to it. As the servants of Christ, His preachers are charged to warn those who have fallen prey to temptation…
As Lent is our special time to walk with Jesus to the cross, we must contemplate the great tribulations He faced, for as certainly as He was scorned and hated for His grace and mercy, so also those who follow in His footsteps and with His Gospel will bear crosses.

As the season of Lent begins, so also begins our journey to the cross with our Lord Jesus. It would require God’s continued presence and the devotion of His holy and consecrated people. Heart and soul would have to be engaged. They needed to trust and rely upon the truth of God’s Word and its power. Holy Spirit, guide us in Your…

That is appropriate, since every Sunday is a little Easter. And Christ’s return will be yet another epiphany that He is God. Further, the promise of the resurrection of the dead and the life…
Looming large over 1 Corinthians is the matter of quarreling and divisions. Paul states this right up front in chapter 1, and it reappears throughout the book. The antidote to divisions is to return to basics. God works through “what is foolish in the world,” “what is weak in the world,” and “even things that are not” (1:27–28). Away with pride that…
