III Week After Epiphany

Today’s readings remind us that God is never distant from our struggle or silent in our waiting.

In Genesis 16:1–14, Hagar encounters the God who sees her—meeting her in the wilderness and calling her by name.

Hebrews 10:1–10 points us to Jesus, whose once-for-all sacrifice accomplishes what the law never could: true redemption and restored relationship with God.

And in John 5:19–29, Jesus declares His divine authority, revealing that life, judgment, and resurrection flow from the Son who perfectly does the Father’s will.

This episode invites us to trust the God who sees us, saves us, and speaks life—calling us out of fear, striving, and self-reliance into confident faith in Christ.
