As Christians celebrate the fourth Sunday of Lent on March 27, 2022, Pastor Jesse Bradley of Seattle says that 'people around the world are still drawing near to God,' even amid the war in Ukraine, a global pandemic and hard times economically in the U.S.
Yet there is still very good reason to have hope, said Bradley. "People around the world are still drawing near to God," he said.
"There is a hope greater than our biggest challenges. Because of God's grace, He walks us through the valley of the shadow of death." A woman is shown praying here inside a church. Said Pastor Bradley for the fourth Sunday of Lent, "God and his love is the one part of my life that can never be taken away."
The message of Lent, he said, "is that we can abide with Jesus and find a security that is deeper than our grieving." As the death toll in Ukraine rises and heart-wrenching pictures from that war-torn country tug at our emotions, Bradley recommends turning to God’s holy word rather than giving into hopelessness. "The Bible is a source of comfort," he said.
Calling God's grace an "undeserved gift," he said that it is offered to all people on earth, including Ukrainians and all"those who are weeping with them." "We must reject discouragement and passivity," he further noted.
