The Second Sunday in Lent – Divine Service Three

 

Faith is Abraham’s legacy – nothing more!  He believed God’s credibility in fulfilling the incredible.  How could an aged, childless father boast of countless heirs.  How could a rich pharisee be born again through water, word, and Spirit?  How could a condemned world be redeemed by the death of a Son?  All these things are grasped, believed, and confessed by God’s gift of faith – nothing more!   

 

 

O God, You see that of ourselves we have no strength. By Your mighty power defend us from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
