The Hour of Fulfillment

The Fifth Sunday in Lent

Our sermon this Sunday is titled “The Hour of Fulfillment”. Our Gospel lesson for this Sunday is from the 12th chapter of John. In this passage, Jesus enters Jerusalem for the last time to celebrate the Passover festival. His words about seeds planted in the ground foretells his death, and provides a promise of a harvest in which everyone will be gathered.
