March 2026
“March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.”
A proverb that says March usually starts with cold, unpleasant weather, but ends mild and pleasant. I am not sure that is exactly how it is here for us in southeast Kansas. The weather we can agree on here is that the sun shines. So getting our Vitamin D isn’t a problem as long we go outside and enjoy it.
The season of Lent is in full swing and we can kind of feel cold and unpleasant. We do talk a lot about the suffering and death of Jesus which can make people feel uncomfortable. And it should. Our sin is something that we struggle with on a daily basis. We do those things that God doesn’t want us to and sometimes we are really good at it. It is unpleasant to think about such things, but it is necessary. It is our sin that caused the death of Jesus. The sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden caused the rest of the world to be sinful and unpleasant.
But it didn’t end there. God promised to send a Savior, the “LAMB of God” who takes away the sins of the world. If it wasn’t for His unconditional love for all people, we would all still be left cold.
So I encourage you this Lenten season to come and experience the “Lamb of God” together with the folks here at St. Peter’s as we gather on Wednesdays and Sundays to hear the Word of God and to be served by Him.
In His Service,
