Temptation. The devil’s worst is when he uses God’s own word, but inverts the command and the promise. Jesus, though, restores faith in the promise and overcomes the devil’s temptation for you.

Everything gifted? Yes, everything. All means all. Everything means everything. Nothing left out. All gift. Everything’s gift. Everything for life. Everything for godliness. Jesus gives. We receive. “Faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, love.” All these are a gift from the Lord. He gifts everything for life and godliness.
This doesn’t quite jive with our views of Lent and repentance and even absolution. We turn Lent into our time to shine. “Fasting…is certainly fine outward training.” Our flesh shouldn’t be in control. Like Paul said a few weeks ago, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” We turn our repentance into the credit that earns the absolution.

He’ll explain how Reminiscere is a latin word from the introit for this Sunday that means “remember”, and the remembering we do this week is not our remembering of Jesus but his remember of us. Pastor Borghardt will then to take us to the faith of the Canaanite woman, the faith we look to during the season of Lent. Next Pastor Borghardt interviews The Rev. William Cwirla of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Hacienda Heights and also the President of Higher Things on his favorite hymns in Lent.

Jesus has to die for sinners, but when we don’t see that as the greatest expression of love, the religion seems pointless. The Holy Spirit reveals to us who the Son of David is and opens our mouth to beg for mercy, then to eat and drink it.

Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, shelters His tender shoot from the pecking of Satan’s beak, from the suffering rays of the midday sun, and from the encroachment of the thorny cares of this world. This Word came forth from the Father’s mouth to forgive, to give life, and to take you into eternal salvation.
