join us as we enter and honor the season of a Lent — that time each year when we ‘remember that we are dust, and to dust we shall return.’ it’s the season, more than any other, during which we’re honest about the sin that damages our relationship with God and with others. it’s also the season, more than any other, during which we celebrate God’s mercy and forgiveness — the means by which God opens the door for our ‘return.’

Then Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here.” Mark, ch.9

Isn’t Peter endearing? Here he is, in the midst of his mountain-top experience with Jesus, and he wants to set up camp and stay for awhile. Nothing really wrong with that, right? I mean, how many of us wouldn’t rather just bask in the glow of our own mountain top experience?

A leper came to him begging him, and kneeling he said to him, ‘If you choose, you can make me clean.’ Moved with pity, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him, and said to him, ‘I do choose. Be made clean!’ Mark 1:40-1

In Jesus Wants to Save Christians, Rob Bell talks about Eucharist as ‘the good gift,’ poured out by God for the life of the world — and he clarifies further that “Jesus is God’s good gift for the healing of the world. The church is Jesus’ body, a good gift for the healing of the world” (165).

When we ask ourselves ‘what is the church for?,’ the only legitimate answer is ‘to serve God’s mission of healing the world.’ And we learn what that healing work looks like by watching Jesus in action in stories like the one for this Sunday.

Our diocesan cathedral is offering its annual Lenten program, beginning Wednesday, March 4th. Each evening begins with worship at 5:30pm in the cathedral, followed by a simple soup supper from 6-6:30pm, and concluding with a short presentation from 6:30-7:30pm.

Now Simon’s mother-in-law was in bed with a fever, and they told him about her at once. He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then the fever left her, and she began to serve them. Mark 1:30-31

Just what is the church for, exactly? This little snippit from Mark’s first chapter gives us a couple clues — both what it’s for and what it’s not for.

‘What have you come to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are, the Holy One of God.’ But Jesus rebuked him, saying, ‘Be silent and come out of him!’ Mark, ch.1

Trivia question: what happens next? Answer: “…the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.”
