Sermon: 2 Corinthians 5:16-31, Luke 5:1-3, 11b-32
I have posted today’s sermon on my sermon blog . Based on the Epistle and Gospel lessons for today — 2 Corinthians 5:16-31 and Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32 it is entitled “Be Reconciled”.
Here’s a portion of it:
Friends – Lent is a time for reflecting on God’s love for us and how we share God’s love for us with others. God’s love is so great that God expressed it through the arms of Christ upon the cross. God’s love is a love that includes all who come to Him – sinners and tax collectors – prodigals – and yes – if they will let it – Pharisees and older brothers – and even you and me.
Indeed – if we let ourselves be a part of God’s loving and forgiving plan and come to God for forgiveness – God’s love can touch even you and me – and lead us into new ways to live in love with God and with all people.
