Bible Readings for Saturday of Fourth Week of Lent 

Reflection of the Day:

As it gets closer to Holy Week, we focus more closely on the terrible price that Jesus paid to win our salvation.  This is not a “pretty” part of the story of our salvation.  It is profound, central and essential.  The movie, The Passion of the Christ, a few years ago was a bit too gory for my tastes, but it left no doubt of the human suffering Jesus endured to save us.  There are many in our world today who are experiencing similar pain suffering and even death as the hands of terror, persecution and other oppressions.  The cross of Jesus provides hope for transformation.
