The fourth in our Lenten series "A Spiritual Contemplation of Christ's Suffering." The Scripture readings for tonight’s service are Psalm 85; Hosea 14:1-2; 1 John 4:17-21; and John 15:1-17.

When you return to God, you are to return with the words, “Take away all iniquity” (Hos. 14:2). You point God back to the suffering and death of Jesus, your Savior because there you have been given full, undeniable proof of God’s love for you.
