Sermon: Lent 4.A

Text: Ephesians 5:14
Date: 4.3.2011
Occasion: Membership of Barb McCulley

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.” Thus writes St Paul in the Epistle lesson for this, the 4^th Sunday in Lent.

An oasis. That's what the 4^th Sunday in Lent has traditionally been. Some churches are adorned with rose-colored paraments today, signifying and anticipating what lies just weeks away now: Easter.

The theme for today is light. Jesus Himself says what we already know, but it's good to hear Him say it: that He is the light of the world!

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

God was not kidding: It really was and is “not good that man should be alone.” This was the very first “not good” of His perfect creation. Not that the male, Adam, was created evil, he was not, He was perfect and without sin. But he was not complete; something was missing.
