Promised Treasures
This Lenten season, we are experiencing a fresh opportunity to embrace God’s amazing love for us, His baptized children, in new ways. St. Paul clearly says that “faith comes from hearing” (Romans 10:17), but the Gospel is also communicated through the physical senses of sight, smell, touch, and taste.
In Matthew 13:52 Jesus says that “every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like a master of a house, who brings out of his treasure what is new and what is old.” So each Wednesday in Lent as well as during Holy Week and Easter, we are taking a weekly journey to concretely see, smell, touch, and taste a number of Biblical elements, connected to our Savior and the love He poured out for us and for our salvation.
Just as Israel wandered through the wilderness under Moses for forty years, awaiting the Promised Land, we await heaven in the wilderness of this life. Life as exiles in the wilderness of this world is not easy and pain-free. In this vale of tears, we await our real home, the new promised land of heaven. Until we enter our eternal promised land, however, the Lord calls us to be His light in this dark world.
All these beautiful Old and New Testament elements remind us of God’s eternal love in Christ, fill us with renewed hope, and increase our joy, knowing that because we are His baptized children, God is near to us now more than ever!
Rich blessings as together we journey through this season to Calvary’s Cross and the Open Tomb!
