Daily Readings for Lent: Sun Feb 28, 2010

Sunday, February 28 Hope for eternal togetherness

Titus 2:3-8 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.  But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared,  he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit,   whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.  This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

Daily Reading for Lent: Sat Feb 27, 2010

Saturday, February 27th, 2010by joshua grace

Saturday, February 27 In the Father, again, and the Spirit in us.

John 14:18-26 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.   On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.  Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will  love  him and show myself to him.”

Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?”

Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will  love  him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.  He who does not  love  me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.

All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

Friday,  February 26 The logic of loving substitution

Athanasius (293-373), On the Incarnation.

Taking a body like our own, because we all were liable to the corruption of death, He surrendered His body to death instead of all, and offered it to the Father. This He did out of sheer love for us  so that, as all died in Him, the law relating to the corruption of men might be abolished…The death of all was consummated in the Lord’s body, and both death and corruption were utterly destroyed through the Word who was present in it; for death there had to be, and death for all, so that the debt of all might be paid. Wherefore, as I said before, the Word, since it was not possible for Him to die, assumed a body that was capable of dying, so that He might offer it as His own in place of all.”

Baptism prayer, The Book Of Common Prayer.  ..Humbly we beseech Thee to grant , that he/she, being dead unto sin, and living unto righteousness, and being buried with Christ in His death, may crucify the old self, and utterly abolish the whole body of sin; and that, as he/she is made partaker of the death of Thy Son, he/she may also be partaker of His resurrection; so that finally, with the residue of Thy holy Church, he/she may be an inheritor of Thine everlasting kingdom.”
