4/6/2025 God is Doing a New Thing

After weeks of penitential and solemn texts, our Lectionary passages for this Sunday offer a different tone. In the midst of Jesus’ sacrificial journey towards Jerusalem, our Old Testament passages proclaim God is doing a new thing, and that God’s redemptive action can fill even those tired and downcast with laughter and joy.  As pastor Karla Conditt Daniels tells us, our New Testament readings serve as reminders; before we can experience the fullness of God’s Spirit, we must empty ourselves of selfish and miserly beliefs. Only then can we be filled with the goodness of God, made known in Jesus the Anointed One.
