Witnesses to the glory of God in the face of Jesus reflect that glory in the world. It was true for Moses. It was doubtless true for Peter, James, and John. We pray that it will be true of all of us who see God’s glory in the word and in the supper and who are being “transformed into the same image” by God’s Spirit. Our service will be livestreamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Los testigos de la gloria de Dios en el rostro de Jesús reflejan esa gloria en el mundo. Fue así en el caso de Moisés. Sin duda fue así en el de Pedro, Santiago y Juan. Oramos para que sea así en el caso de todos los que vemos la gloria de Dios en la Palabra y en la Cena y que estamos siendo “transformados a la misma imagen” por el Espíritu de Dios.

On Ash Wednesday we begin our forty-day journey toward Easter with a day of fasting and repentance. Marking our foreheads with dust, we acknowledge that we die and return to the earth. At the same time, the dust traces the life-giving cross indelibly marked on our foreheads at baptism. While we journey through Lent to return to God, we have already been reconciled to God through Christ. We humbly pray for God to make our hearts clean while we rejoice that “now is the day of salvation.” Returning to our baptismal call, we more intentionally bear the fruits of mercy and justice in the world. Our service will be livestreamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 6:30 PM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

These forty days called Lent are like no other. It is our opportune time to return to the God who rescues, to receive the gifts of God’s grace, to believe with the heart and confess with the mouth the wonder of God’s love in Jesus, and to resist temptation at every turn. This is no small pilgrimage on which we have just embarked. It is a struggle Jesus knew. It is a struggle Jesus shares. The nearness of the Lord, in bread and wine, water and word, will uphold and sustain us. Our service will be livestreamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 10:45 AM.

Estos cuarenta días llamados Cuaresma no se parecen a ningún otro. Es nuestro momento oportuno para volver al Dios que rescata, para recibir los dones de la gracia de Dios, para creer con el corazón y confesar con la boca la maravilla del amor de Dios en Jesús, y para resistir la tentación en todo momento. No es una pequeña peregrinación la que acabamos de emprender. Es una lucha que Jesús conoció. Es una lucha que Jesús comparte. La cercanía del Señor, en el pan y el vino, el agua y la palabra, nos sostendrá y sostendrá.

Though we sometimes doubt and often resist God’s desire to protect and save us, our God persists. In holy baptism, God’s people have been called and gathered into a God-initiated relationship that will endure. Lent provides the church with a time and a tradition in which to seek God’s face again. Lent provides another occasion to behold the God of our salvation in the face of the Blessed One who “comes in the name of the Lord.” Our service will be livestreamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM.

Aunque a veces dudamos y a menudo nos resistimos al deseo de Dios de protegernos y salvarnos, nuestro Dios persiste. En el santo bautismo, el pueblo de Dios ha sido llamado y reunido en una relación iniciada por Dios que perdurará. La Cuaresma proporciona a la iglesia un tiempo y una tradición en la que buscar nuevamente el rostro de Dios. La Cuaresma proporciona otra ocasión para contemplar al Dios de nuestra salvación en el rostro del Bendito que “viene en el nombre del Señor”.

The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God’s invitation to attentiveness: “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.” The landowner’s ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener’s readiness to till the ground one more year. That is good news for all of us. Thanks be to God! Our service will be livestreamed from Atonement Lutheran Church starting at 10:45 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Las advertencias son abundantes y contundentes en el tercer domingo de Cuaresma. ¡Corten o serán cortados! Las advertencias están acompañadas por la invitación de Dios a estar atentos: “Inclinen su oído y vengan a mí; escuchen, y vivirán”. El ultimátum del terrateniente se ve anticipado por la disposición del jardinero a cultivar la tierra un año más. Esa es una buena noticia para todos nosotros. ¡Gracias a Dios!

The psalm sets the tone this day: “Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!” Happy are those who have “become the righteousness of God” in the merits of Christ Jesus. Happy are those for whom the forgiveness of God has “rolled away . . . the disgrace” of former times. Happy is the father at the return of his prodigal son. Happy are we that our sins are forgiven for Jesus’ sake. Rejoice! Our service will be livestreamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM.

El salmo marca el tono de este día: “¡Felices aquellos cuyas transgresiones son perdonadas y cuyo pecado es borrado!” Felices los que han sido “hechos justicia de Dios” en los méritos de Cristo Jesús. Felices aquellos para quienes el perdón de Dios ha “quitado… la vergüenza” de tiempos pasados. Feliz es el padre por el regreso de su hijo pródigo. Felices somos nosotros porque nuestros pecados son perdonados por causa de Jesús. ¡Alégrense!
