Today’s reading takes place the Tuesday before Passover.  In this passage, Jesus is saying that now is the time to reveal Himself.  Jesus promises eternal life, taking away fear from our lives because fear takes away our faith, our hope, and our trust.  It’s time to cut out the weeds of worry, resentment, and shame.

Thank you, Sheri, Lori, and Jim, for your assistance with worship today.  Remember that next Sunday is Palm Sunday.  Join us in the celebration of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and to hear the Passion Story as told in Mark’s Gospel.
