Lenten Reflection - March 7, 2010 The Third Sunday in Lent

After he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered... and they believed the scriptures and the word that Jesus had spoken.
John 2:22


This scripture speaks to the heart of man. It is difficult to believe what you cannot see or touch. Not even the disciples that followed Him fully understood Jesus and His words. It took seeing the fulfillment of Jesus’ words, the PROOF, for them to truly understand Jesus and the scriptures.

In today’s world it is “Seeing is believing,” “Proof is in the pudding.” In this country there is even a state slogan “The show me state.” We as a society must learn to open our hearts and really listen to hear the word of the Lord.

For me, it is believing and trust in the intangibility of Jesus that brings me—peace of mind, joy for all things, grace of spirit, and hope for all.
