On the second Sunday of Lent this year — March 13, 2022 — Christians all over the world honor and reflect on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ; this year, the people of Ukraine are especially on the minds of millions.
"I remember being amazed at the massive reception we received of nearly 200,000 Christians gathering to celebrate their freedom in Christ," Miles said.
Looking at Old Testament tradition and scripture, Miles pointed to Genesis 15:6, in which God establishes a covenant with Abram:"Abram believed the Lord, and he [God] credited it to him as righteousness." Over 2,000 years before Christ’s birth, Miles said, the scriptures foreshadow the gift of righteousness available through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
Miles continued,"As the blood from the carcasses dripped into the trench, the two parties joined hands and walked between the pieces, signifying that failure to keep the covenant would grant the other permission to do unto the other what had been done to the animals." "Instead, the Bible tells us that Abram ‘fell into a deep sleep’ and had a vision of ‘a smoking firepot and a blazing torch’ passing between the pieces."
Luke 9:29-30 reads,"As he [Jesus] was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus."
