SECOND SUNDAY OF LENT
John 5:19-24
God of
glory, we rejoice that Jesus came among us in order to do your work of creation
and redemption. We rejoice that he came with full understanding of
your intention and that he acted in order to achieve your purpose. We rejoice that
he was empowered by You, and acted in complete unity with You.
We have
been astonished by all that Jesus did among us. We have seen lives transformed.
We have seen the sick healed and the bound released. We have even watched the
dead return to life.
We rejoice
that we have received life as your precious gift, given in freedom, and
energizing us for newly liberated lives of trust and courage.
Because of
your presence and enduring love, we do not fear your judgment. Instead, we give
our whole selves in glad obedience in order to honor You through Jesus the
Christ. Enable us to continue the work that Jesus began among us. Amen.
