Trials and or/Gifts
2/18/2018
First Sunday in Lent
Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged
—Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our ev’ry weakness—
Take it to the Lord in prayer. (LSB 770:2)
The encouraging words of the familiar hymn “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” reflect the text of Sunday’s Epistle. James reminds us that God knows all about trials and temptations. He sent His only Son to suffer them as we do. In Jesus, He gives us all we need in Word, Sacrament, and prayer so we can persevere through the trials and temptations of this world and receive the crown of life! in the face of Jesus Christ” (2 Corinthians 4:6). Once again we go to Jesus Christ for help in dealing with the tragic shooting in Parkland, FL. May God bring comfort to all the familes who have been struck by this tragedy.
See you Saturday and Sunday! Pastor Phil
