Fourth sunday of Lent

On this 4th Sunday in Lent, we hear how God’s people struggled with impatience during their wilderness journey to new life in the promised land.  We hear how God responded with a means of healing -and celebrate the NT message that we have been saved by God’s grace as a gift of love.  We hear one of the most beautiful truths of Scripture from John 3:16:  for God so loved the word, that God gave us God’s only Son, Jesus!
