Bring Light to Our Lives: Sixth Sunday in Lent
This Palm Sunday, we are eager to join the people of Jerusalem in crying, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” But we remember how quickly these cries turned to words of hatred and condemnation as the people called for Jesus to be crucified. Because of his great love for us, this is how our Lord provides for our salvation: through his suffering and death, Jesus paid the price of all our sins, and through his resurrection, he brings us into new life.
Hear these words from Colossians 2:13-15
When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
The sixth candle is lit.
Responsive Refrain
Lord Jesus, as we walk with you through these forty days, let your light shine into our hearts.
Brighten the darkness of our lives, and show us where we need to repent.
In our thoughts, words, and actions, teach us to rely on you.
Renew us as your people, that we may carry your light to the world.
