WEEKLY REFLECTION

God's Mercy and Forgiveness

04-13-2025 | Very Rev. Richard C. Wilson, VF, Pastor

Dear Friends in Christ,

Today, we read the narrative of the Passion from the Gospel of Luke. According to this evangelist, Jesus entering Jerusalem to a joyous parade of palms and the Passion narrative are mutually related. This is so even though the first part is jubilant while the second part is humiliating and degrading.
