Theme for The Third Sunday in Lent

God does not delight in wickedness. Repentance is a necessary condition for receiving God's absolution in Christ Jesus. Without repentance we perish because we do not have Christ.

Hymn #823

The Lord is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy, be gracious to all who have gone astray from Your ways and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of Your Word; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
