Third Sunday in Lent
“Living Water in Christ Alone”
Rev. Dr. Dennis W. Pegorsch
7:30am & 9am Sunday, March 12, 2023 in the Upper Sanctuary
Trinity Lutheran Church & School
Wausau, Wisconsin
FOCUS God’s mercy and grace are revealed to those who deserve anything but. The Israelites who wandered the wilderness complained of no water. They didn’t deserve anything because of their sinfulness, yet God responds in mercy and grace, providing water from a rock. A marginalized Samaritan woman didn’t receive compassion from her community and didn’t deserve it from our Savior Jesus Christ, yet she was given and shown mercy and grace and came to believe He is the Savior of the world. We, too, have gone astray and deserve much less than mercy and grace from God Himself. Yet, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
