Details: Written by Tom Miles Tom Miles; Created: February 25 2020 February 25 2020

O come, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Gradual for Lent, based on Hebrews 12:2

When the characters in the Passion narrative look at Jesus, what do they see? In most cases, people misunderstood who He is and what He was doing. In some cases, by faith, people recognized Him aright. Our Lenten series this year, based on the Passion narratives from the Gospel of St. Mark, will examine how the various people around Jesus viewed Him—and how we should view Him. Fixing our eyes this Lent on what Jesus has done to save us from our sins by His holy, precious blood and innocent sufferings and death, we will take comfort and rejoice in what God sees on account of His work for us.
