John 12:20-33
“Grace Covenant, what we say, and what we believe, matters. We have seen again this week that what we profess as Christians and as the Church matters, in fact, it is a matter of life and death. As we near the end of our Lenten journey this year, let us draw closer to the crucified one, the one who gathers all people to himself, especially those the Church has excluded, marginalized, and oppressed in his name. Let Jesus’s radical love and inclusion resonate in our souls, and let it be heard and felt beyond our church doors. For Jesus calls to us. And I want to see Jesus. We want to see Jesus. We want to see Jesus. Amen.”
