Weekly Reflection

From Death to New Life

03-17-2024  |  We Celebrate Worship Resource, Vol. 49, No. 1

Lent is a season of change. After all, we have been called to repent since the beginning of Lent and change is the goal of repentance. When we truly repent, we change our behavior and return to God with a clean heart. But it’s not easy. Giving something up means dying to something we’ve grown used to and comfortable with. But to preserve our souls for eternal life we must sacrifice our own will, we must die to those aspects of our nature that separate us from God—selfishness, pride, indifference, unkindness, hate—all those things that separate us not only from God but from all God’s children. We are all mortal beings. One day we too will fall to the ground and die—as a grain of wheat does in order to produce much fruit; as two thousand years ago Jesus did to draw everyone to his glorified self. While we live, may we imitate that selfsacrificing love of the Lord and embrace the selflessness, the humility, the hopefulness, the kindness, and the love we are called to put into action.

What aspect of your life needs to die in order for you to produce great fruit?


De La Muerte A La Nueva Vida

La Cuaresma es una temporada de cambios. Después de todo, hemos sido llamados a arrepentirnos desde el comienzo de la Cuaresma y el cambio es el objetivo del arrepentimiento. Cuando nos arrepentimos verdaderamente, cambiamos nuestro comportamiento y volvemos a Dios con un corazón limpio. Pero no es fácil. Renunciar a algo significa morir por algo a lo que nos hemos acostumbrado y con lo que nos sentimos cómodos. Pero para preservar nuestras almas para la vida eterna debemos sacrificar nuestra propia voluntad, debemos morir a aquellos aspectos de nuestra naturaleza que nos separan de Dios: el egoísmo, el orgullo, la indiferencia, la crueldad, el odio; todas esas cosas que nos separan no solo de Dios. sino de todos los hijos de Dios. Todos somos seres mortales. Un día nosotros también caeremos al suelo y moriremos, como lo hace el grano de trigo para dar mucho fruto; como hizo Jesús hace dos mil años para atraer a todos a su yo glorificado. Mientras vivamos, que imitemos ese amor abnegado del Señor y abracemos el altruismo, la humildad, la esperanza, la bondad y el amor que estamos llamados a poner en acción.

¿Qué aspecto de tu vida necesita morir para que puedas producir grandes frutos?
