Sunday Reflection (February 26, 2023)

Having sinned, Adam and Eve damaged their relationship with God; and, indeed with all of creation (Genesis 2:15-17; 3:1-7).  Likewise, when we sin, we damage our relationship with God and others, and all creation through unwarranted environmental destruction.  We live in a world filled with hatred and malice, and we have all played a part in that.
 
Jesus exercised true freedom by enfleshing God’s love and faithfulness in his words and deeds.  Jesus Christ, the perfect one, extends forgiveness, grace, and kindness to us (Romans 5:18-19).  In response to God’s extension of forgiveness, grace, and kindness to us, may we share forgiveness, grace, and kindness to others. Use this Lenten Season as a time of prayer, reflection, and examination to find the areas of your life where you need to grow in love and faithfulness to God and others.
