This Season of Lent, instead of going into the Wilderness with Jesus, we journey up to the Mountaintop to sit at the feet of Jesus and partake of his wisdom in what is known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” This was not a sermon to the masses. Jesus and his closest companions left the masses and gathered in an intimate setting for profound wisdom. We are invited into that intimate circle each week.
This Sunday we will explore our capacity to mourn and lament our own pain and the pain of others, and how this opens us to experience the promise of solace and care in the arms of God, giving us inner strength and resilience to face life's challenges.
