Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Lent: Seeing Jesus - Part 4\n Luke 18:32-33\n 03\/06\/2025\n\n\n 32 ``For he will be delivered over to the Gentiles\n and will be mocked and shamefully treated and spit\n upon.\n 33 And after flogging him, they will kill him, and on\n the third day he will rise.'' (ESV)\n\n Jesus told the disciples what was to happen during the\n Passover in Jerusalem, how He would accomplish that which had\n been foretold by the prophets in the Old Testament.\n ``For [the Son of Man] will be delivered over to the\n Gentiles and will be mocked and shamefully treated and\n spit upon. And after flogging him, they will kill him,\n and on the third day he will rise.''\n\n\n The season of Lent is a time of somber reflection on the\n enormity of our rebellion against God, of our sins against the\n Almighty and our neighbors. In the Church building, purple\n adorns our altar. There are no flowers, the crosses are veiled,\n and the joyful hymns of praise are silent.\n\n But the season of Lent is also a time of preparation. Even\n as the lessons each week take us closer to the cross, even as our\n gathering becomes more somber, there is the hope which Jesus\n gives. Yes, He was betrayed, abandoned, tortured, whipped,\n humiliated, and killed. There was no time to render the proper\n respect for burial, just the hurried internment with the promise\n of proper cleaning and entombment on the third day.\n\n Jesus promised the resurrection. The great prophetic Psalm\n of David, which begins with the cry of anguish, ends with the\n triumphant victory of life. Jonah's three days in the large fish\n was a foretaste of Jesus' three days in the tomb. Isaiah and\n Daniel and Hosea[1] all point to the death and resurrection of\n the Messiah.\n\n Therefore, even in the midst of tragedy, even in the midst\n of unjust persecution, we have the hope of everlasting life.\n Yes, Jesus predicted His death. He also proclaimed His\n resurrection.\n\n May our Lord give you hope even in your darkest hours in the\n sure and certain knowledge that after Lent comes Easter. Amen.\n ____________________\n\n 1.
