April 3, 2022: Fifth Sunday of Lent

God is doing something new and amazing: As the prophet Isaiah foretold, He brings water and freshness to the desert, even the deserts within us.

Rather than stand condemned in sin without hope, God has provided a way for us to be free from sin.

He sent His Son to be our redeemer.  And as He spoke to the condemned woman brought before Him, so He speaks to us words that set us free from being weighed down by sin so that we can be free to live righteously.  He goes past the concerns of civil and religious law to bring her what she needs most, the mercy of God, just as He does for us.

So we continue our pursuit to grow in that righteousness, knowing what matters most, above anything else that might have value in the eyes of the world, is knowing the God Who saved us that we may have Eternal Life, and experience it even now as we live anew.
