Sermon Introduction –
Jesus has saved you! But what comes next? Jesus teaches us to put our faith into action. How can we share the love that we have been given?
Introduction to the week’s readings –
The fourth of the Old Testament promises providing a baptismal lens this Lent is the promise God makes to Moses: those who look on the bronze serpent will live. In today’s gospel Jesus says he will be lifted up on the cross like the serpent, so that those who look to him in faith will live. When we receive the sign of the cross in baptism, that cross becomes the sign we can look to in faith for healing, for restored relationship to God, for hope when we are dying.
