ASLC Devotions - Monday

Hebrews 9:14

How much more will the blood of Christ, who through The eternal spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Sculptors and inventors have a term for a person’s ability to look at a rough piece of stone or metal and see it in its final perfected form. It is called “hyperseeing”.

Our God has the talent of “hyperseeing”.  He sees all that we are and all we are to become.  God the Father saw what Jesus would do for the world.  In the Old Testament sacrifices of animal blood were used to wash away sin but with the new Covenant, Christ’s blood was all that was needed to wash away the sins of the world.  The God who started His creation completed his work through the sacrifice of His Son. He saw in the man Jesus, a Savior who would change the world forever.  God’s creation proved to be the most beautiful and wonderful gift ever given.  Grace is ours and all we have to do is believe.

This Lent, we are sharing the offerings of members of All Saints who worked together to create a daily Lenten devotional book. Join us for worship as we enter the Triduum, the Great Three Days of our salvation story. Maundy Thursday worship is at 7 pm and involves foot-washing as well as a light meal. Good Friday, we will have a family-focused service at 10 am as well as a choir and orchestra cantata at 7 pm. The Easter Vigil (7 pm on Saturday) begins around a new fire in darkness until the light of Easter shines. We follow the service with champagne and refreshments. Easter morning we worship at 8:30 and 11. Visit http://www.allsaintspalatine.org for full calendar and information and respond to this email message to request to be removed from our distribution list.
