Sunday, March 1, 2026 – The Second Sunday In Lent
Theme for the Day: “… You Are With Me In Paradise!”
Season Theme: Seven Simple, Powerful Words Of God’s Grace In Jesus Christ
Readings: Genesis 12:1-4a; Romans 4:1-5; John 3:1-17
What are you searching for? Peace? Assurance? A place to belong? A glimpse of paradise?
Nicodemus comes to Jesus at night, searching for understanding. Abram is called to trust a promise he cannot yet see. And from the cross, a criminal cries out, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus responds with words that echo through time: “Today you will be with me in paradise.”
In this Lenten season, we are reminded that paradise is not something we build or earn. Paradise is the promise of Christ’s presence. Paradise is grace given freely. Paradise is the love of God made known in these words: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son.”
Search no further. In Christ, forgiveness is real. Hope is present. Paradise begins here, in the grace of Jesus Christ.
