Fourth Sunday of Lent

March 31, 2019 Whoever is in Christ is a new creation:

the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come.

-- 2 Corinthians 5:17

GOD FORGIVES The Lord said to Joshua, Today I have removed the reproach of Egypt from you. After forty years of wan-dering in the desert, this hard-headed people have finally reached the Promised Land. No more do they eat the manna in the desert, but they partake of the fruits of their new homeland. God has kept the promise to their parents in Egypt. Even though they were a sinful people, many times questioning God and even worshiping false gods, God has forgiven them and fulfilled the promise. The take-away for us is that there is no sin that is unforgivable. We may have offended our neighbors, given a bad example to someone, even worshiped the false gods of mon-ey and power. But God is a merciful God, true to the words spoken to us. God forgives all and calls us back to love. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

HAPPINESS Happiness will never be ours if we do not recognize to some degree that God ’s blessings were given us for the well-being of all. --Anonymous
