Key Phrase For This Lent
" I AM HE "
THREE MOMENTS OF TRUTH
The next three Sunday Gospels tell of three people coming to faith in in Jesus in very different ways.
a)The woman at the well comes to Jesus through souls-searching and discussion.
b)The man-born-blind comes through the courageous steps of facing the truth.
c)Lazarus and his sisters come by way of having no where else to turn.
Jesus' self revelation is central to all three. In sometimes different wording, he says to each of the three, "I Am He".
The church has an overall plan of Lent which is aimed at two sets of people,
1. New converts to the Faith
2. Those who long to be encouraged all over again by the faith they place in Jesus and the Gospel.
This blog suggests that it would be helpful for us to use the Church's plan of Lent in making our own personal plans for Lent.
TWO FOR OPENERS
The first two Sunday Gospels of Lent, (always the same two,) Temptations and Transfiguration, can represent for us the poles or possibilities between which we live out the journey of life
