About the First Sunday in Lent: As we gather on Sunday, some have been with us as we declared the fast on Wednesday, but many have not. We re-tell the sense of duality that we embraced on Wednesday, describing Christ as the “AND” who connects our Lent with Easter, and today especially our sacrifice with His provision. As we look to the story of the binding of Isaac, we consider how Abraham’s sacrifice was not necessarily of his son, but of His will and control, and how we are given the gift of sacrifice so that we too might see God’s provision.
