Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany
[Jesus said:] Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them. Matthew 5:17
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
Jesus’ fulfilling means that God’s Law has been reasserted, restored to its proper ministerial function to direct our hungering and thirsting for righteousness – that longing for life to be turned the right way up – to Christ's undying love for repentant sinners and His righteousness, to love what He commanded and desire what He promised. Now, this loving and desiring are only possible if our banishment from Eden is abolished, if the accusations of God’s Law against us are covered, which they are by Jesus’ all-sufficient sacrifice.
I look forward to seeing you.
Pastor Jaime

And now we begin Holy Week
With Palm Sunday, the Church’s Lenten journey intensifies as the Gospel writers give us much more detail of these days in Jesus’ life leading to Friday evening and a tomb in comparison to the previous three decades.
