4th  Day of Lent –By Nancy Grace Joy- We are but DUST

Genesis 2:7
Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.

Genesis 3:19

By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Psalm 103:13-18

As a father has compassion on his children,
     so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
 14 for he knows how we are formed,
     he remembers that we are dust.
 15 The life of mortals is like grass,
     they flourish like a flower of the field;
 16 the wind blows over it and it is gone,
     and its place remembers it no more.
 17 But from everlasting to everlasting
     the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
     and his righteousness with their children’s children—
 18 with those who keep his covenant
     and remember to obey his precepts.

Job 1:21 

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,   and naked I will depart.[a]
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.”

Ecclesiastes 3:19-20

Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath[a]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless. 20 All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.

The songwriter, Kerry Livgren, from band KANSAS once said that “the message was out of Ecclesiastes.”

I close my eyes
 Only for a moment and the moment’s gone.
 All my dreams
 Pass before my eyes, a curiosity.

Dust in the wind,  All they are is dust in the wind.

End:

Now don’t hang on.  Nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky.
 It slips away, And all your money won’t another minute buy.

Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind.
 Dust in the wind, Everything is dust in the wind.

So where is the HOPE?
 In confessing our sins and turning to GOD our creator! 

Luke 3:3-6  In those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” 3 This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
 ‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
     make straight paths for him.’”

 Jesus has come – that is why we celebrate EASTER!!

Lent is a great time of 40 days to get ready for that celebration of HOPE!

1 John 1:8-10 If we confess our sins,

3rd Day of Lent –By Nancy Grace Joy – The Romans Road

1. Romans 3:10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one; 

2. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 

3. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord. 

4. Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 

5. Romans 10:9-10 9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 

6. Romans 10:13 Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. 

7. Romans 10:17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ. 

8. Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

What is Ash Wednesday? 40 Days of LENT with Nancy Grace Joy

Symbolism and Use of Ashes

The Old Testament depicts several moments of figures who used ashes and sackcloth, both of which were often present when mourning or making a petition or repenting to God.

 In Esther 4:1,  “When Mordecai learned all that had been done, Mordecai tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes and went through the city, wailing with a loud and bitter cry” 

Job 42:6, as he repented before God, says, “Therefore, I disown what I have said, and repent in dust and ashes” 

In Daniel 9:3 says, “I turned to the Lord God, to seek help, in prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.”

 Also in Jonah 3:6, after he preached to the people of Nineveh, : “When the news reached the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.” 

Where do ashes come from?

Ash Wednesday, we use ashes made from the burned palm branches distributed on the Palm Sunday of the previous year.
