At This Time

Mark 1: 9-15  For 400-500 years, the voice of the Lord had not been heard.  The Roman empire had swallowed up the Jews.  But a new day was coming.  The baptism of Jesus signified a new beginning, a turning to Christ.  Through repentence, God gives us a new way of living, to turn away from the ways of the world.  We can't sit passively back waiting for something to happen, procrastination and continuing down the path of old behaviors doesn't work.  In Lent we are called to not procrastinate but to step out and take action.  God has given us everything we need.
