2nd Sunday in Lent
Luke 13:31-34; Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18 We have made it to week two of Lent, and so now we are getting to the meaty part of the season. We are well on our way, but we still have a long way to go. This is where the rubber begins to hit the road so to speak. 10 days in, our Lenten practices are either starting to become habits or falling by the wayside. It’s that time when we really want to start seeing results for our activities but they may not be here yet. Our journey to the cross has really only just begun, but very often we wish the destination would come sooner, that change would come faster. If only Easter would arrive as quickly as this the sudden change of seasons that came upon us this week, and yet we are still here waiting another month to enjoy our resurrection joy. And Jesus knows this. This is not news. We are not unique in trying to rush the process. Our Gospel lesson this week reminds us of this simple fact....
