Third Sunday in Lent - Year C

Meditation – 3rd Sunday in Lent Year C
Isaiah 55:1-9
Psalm 63:1-8
1st Corinthians 10:1-13
Luke 13:1-9

There is comfort, together with two warnings, in today’s Bible passages. 

That God loves his children is abundantly clear. He invites them freely to feast with him (Isaiah 55:1-2), to be restored and refreshed. He has made “an everlasting covenant” (v 3) with them and has “endowed [them] with splendour” (v 5). The Psalmist David knows God’s love intimately. He longs for God as a thirsty man in a desert would long for water (63:1), because “[God’s] love is better than life” (v 3), and – just like Isaiah’s image of feasting – to be in God’s presence is to be “satisfied as with the richest of foods” (v 5)...
