Paul is talking about us as Spirit-filled Christians. He tells of
the working of the Spirit. As the Spirit resurrected Jesus, we
will be resurrected. The Spirit not only overcomes death, but
the way of the flesh (sin), and will bear witness to the Father
that we are his children and heirs. Easter bears witness to the
resurrection and the promise of a future with God. Our
future as Spirit-filled Christians is to be free of physical and
moral corruption. It is the only hope that life holds. So let us
hold up our Gift of the Spirit and let it shine brightly in this
darkness as a beacon to others that they might find their
way.
Psalm 66, 67; Genesis 48:8-22; Romans 8:11-25;
John 6:27-40
These Lenten meditations were written by the people
of St. Barnabas' for the people of St. Barnabas' as part
of our recognition of the 50th anniversary of the founding
of this church. We hope that you will find them helpful
in your own Lenten devotions.
