Lent, Saturday of Week 5 – Ez 37:21-28; John 11:45-56
Ezekiel’s vision stirs something deep within us — a longing for what should be, shadowed by the ache of what is. We look at our broken world, our broken selves, and wonder: has God’s dream for His people simply withered away?
It has not. The Lord is not defeated by our failures. His covenant endures across every generation, patient and unrelenting as the dawn. He dwells among us still — forgiving, purifying, sanctifying — drawing goodness from the very depths of human darkness. The Cross itself is His supreme answer to evil: death swallowed by Life.
This is no excuse for complacency. On the contrary, the mercy we have received demands a response of vigilance and love. Yet even the most crushing evil — the kind that strikes without warning, that leaves us bewildered and grieving — cannot extinguish our hope. For He is here. Emmanuel. God-with-us, now and forever.
Lord Jesus, purify my heart. Let me never add to the world’s darkness, but cling to You alone — my refuge, my hope, my all.
