Here & Now

Hosanna, here and now. The cries of the crowd in Jerusalem still echo in our world today. Messiah has come, and yet things are still not as they should be. People still go hungry, the oppressed are not yet free, and the ruling powers still glorify violence and greed. We refuse to accept this is all there is; despair is not the ending. Lent invites us to live in the tension of the here and now—and not yet. The Messiah has saved us. The Messiah is saving us. The Messiah will save us. On this Lenten journey, we marvel at the endurance of salvation, learning to recognize and participate in God’s saving work as it unfolds all around us in loud, gentle, extravagant, and ordinary ways. Imagine what becomes possible when ordinary people trust that another world can still be born here and now.

Scriptures used in Here & Now are from the Revised Common Lectionary, Year B.
