Seeds of Resurrection in the Wilderness of Lent 2024 03 17

Helotes Hills United Methodist Church

As we near the culmination of Lent, we find ourselves in a familiar yet unsettling place – the wilderness. John 12:20-33 echoes this sentiment, placing Jesus in a liminal space amidst Greek seekers and a looming confrontation with his own mortality. But this wilderness isn't barren; it's teeming with seeds of life and resurrection, waiting to be sown.

Scripture references: Psalm 119:9-16 and John 12:20-33
