As we meditate on the cross, we ask again and anew what it means to make the statement of faith that Jesus, in his obedient suffering and dying, revealed himself to us as God’s Son.
As we meditate on the cross, we ask again and anew what it means to make the statement of faith that Jesus, in his obedient suffering and dying, revealed himself to us as God’s Son.
Through his death and Resurrection, Jesus conquered Satan, the ruler of this world.
We wish to keep our sins hidden, even from God. Jesus has come into the world to reveal our sins so that they may be forgiven.
In our prayers we seek to deepen our relationship with the person of Christ.
In his Transfiguration, we see an anticipation of the glory of Jesus’ Resurrection.
During Lent, we are led by the Holy Spirit to remember the vows of Baptism in which we promised to reject sin and to follow Jesus.
Even when Jesus was in deserted places, people sought him out in search of his healing.
We believe that in his prayers Jesus found guidance and direction from God. We also bring our decision-making to God in prayer, asking for his guidance and direction in our lives.
Jesus appears to be like these healers, but he heals with unique authority and connects his healing activities with the words of his preaching.
The Kingdom of God is here and now. The time of fulfilment is at hand. How might our lives be different if we more fully shared this sense of the immediacy of God’s kingdom?
