Friday of the 1st Week of Lent: EZ 18:21-28; MT 5:20-26
To ask so much of us, Jesus must have known well the passage from Ezekiel we heard this morning. If our God, who does not need us, desires our good so much, how can I settle for less when I relate to you?
I will need plenty of patience and forgiveness for myself as I struggle to respond well. But couldn’t that teach me to be patient and forgiving with you?
