Next week’s scripture insights:

Readings for Sunday,

March 14, 2021 Fourth Sunday of Lent:

2 Chr 36:14–16, 19–23 Ps 137:1–2, 3, 4–5, 6

Eph 2:4–10 Jn 3:14–21

The first reading describes how, despite the sinfulness of the people, God was moved to compassion. The people’s

callous contempt for prophetic warnings unleashed the avenging anger of God on them. God’s fiery wrath purified what had been desecrated through their wickedness. The reading ends on a note of hope. A foreign king, who seems to have known the salvific role that he was playing on the international stage, is inspired by the God of Israel to release the people. The final words of the reading, of the entire biblical book, and of the Jewish canon (this is the last book) exhort them to go back to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple. The political implications of this directive continue to be profound. The psalm describes inconsolable despondency, fierce resentment, and heartfelt commitment. The background of these sentiments is clearly identified; the people had been snatched from their beloved Zion and were held captive in Babylon. To compound the despair that engulfed them as a consequence of this disaster, they were taunted by their captors: Sing for us. They cannot sing their religious songs, because it would be incongruous to extol God’s mighty deeds while the nation sat in defeat. Furthermore, since Babylon was considered an unclean land, it was unseemly to pray to the holy God of Israel in such a profane place. Nonetheless, Jerusalem is not forgotten. Loyalty to it is shown in silence and remembering. The second reading characterizes God as one who is rich in mercy; has great love for us; has brought us to life, raised us up, and seated us with Christ in glory. This portrait of God is followed by a glimpse into the meaning of our salvation. Unable to save ourselves, we receive salvation as a pure gift from God. This theme is really the heart of Paul’s theology. Salvation is a grace that we receive “in Christ” and because of Christ. Grace and faith are essential components of salvation; God bestows the grace and we accept it in faith. Good works are important, but only as a result of having been saved, not as a condition for it.

Those were saved who looked upon the bronze serpent that Moses raised up in the wilderness (Num 21:8-9). In like manner, life eternal comes to those who believe in Jesus, one raised up in both ignominy and exaltation. “Son of Man (Humanity)” refers to a symbolic figure who will inaugurate the last days (cf. Dan 7:13-14). God’s love for the world is so deep and magnanimous that nothing is spared for its salvation, not even God’s only Son. Those who believe are saved; those who do not believe call down judgment upon themselves. Light expresses the same idea. Christ is the true light, and those who accept him live in that light; those who do not believe are in darkness.

Reflection: Each reading provides us with an example of divine mercy. God’s use of Cyrus to deliver the Israelites, even though he was not a believer, shows that every circumstance and any person can demonstrate the scope of God’s love. In fact, it is often the situation or the individual that we least expect that has been chosen to manifest God’s mercy to us. This same mercy is seen as God brings us to life with Christ even when we were dead in sin. Mercy means that strict justice is set aside in favor of compassion. Dispossessed people are raised out of defeat and given another chance. Sinners condemned to severe punishment are raised out of despair and offered a reprieve. The whole world is raised up out of darkness when God’s own Son is sent into that world as savior rather than as judge. God’s mercy raises us out of loss and hopelessness, out of darkness and sin, so that we might enjoy the blessings of life. We too have been raised up so that we might live in truth and might become the visible sign of God’s mercy in the world. We have been made a new people, free from the restraints of the past. Joined with Christ we become God’s handiwork, creations that bear the seal of the great creator. We are the very sacrament of God’s mercy. The forgiveness that we have experienced and the new life within us shine forth as witness to the mercy of God.

Thought to consider this Week:

DON’T LOOK AT ME

During Lent, it’s easy to imagine we’re scoring points with heaven by all this fasting, praying, and almsgiving. Giving up binge-watching for a season, spending 15 minutes daily in contemplation, or funding a different cause each Friday are all worthy activities that may deepen our commitment to faithful living. None of these practices will actually buy us a ticket to paradise, however. Grace is free and unearned, so we can’t boast about it. Our Lenten practices are simply our way of saying “Thank You” to the Giver of all good gifts.

“It is the gift of God; it is not from

works, so no one may boast.”
