He told the children a.story "You Don't Have to Guess". The" sermon was entitled "Do We Know What. We're Looking For". Traditionally the Lenten season is a time for repentence and penitence for Christians in the Church. It is a time during which we over -concentrate on the Cross. We realize a sense of aloneness or apartness from God. Simply stated Lent is that time of the year when we recognize, more than at any other time, that people tried to subvert God's will to make' their own will supreme when they persecuted Jesus and placed him on the Cross. in a very real sense Lent has traditionally been seen as a season in which we note a return to chaos. We are reminded that all there was before God created the world, according to the Genesis ac- counts, was chaos. Our Old Testament lesson from Jeremiah 26:8-15 in which Jeremiah faces an angry mob after speaking to them in prophesy is a story of martyrdom and self sacrifice. It is not a story about bragg- ing how much we are doing or have done for the mission God has given us in life. Rather the story is used to remind us of two things - we are never to forget God in our lives; We are to recognize his Word as being alive in others in truth and in sincerity. Secondly we are instructed to be willing to stand alone and fight against popular movements which, when taken to the limit, will have proven detrimental at least to some segments of our world society.
