Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

Lent Reading:
Jesus Predicts Peter’s Restoration

“Simon, Simon,
Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat.
But I have prayed for you, Simon,
that your faith may not fail.
And when you have turned back,
strengthen your brothers.”

 But he replied,
“Lord, I am ready to go with you
to prison and to death.”

Jesus answered,
“I tell you, Peter,
before the rooster crows today,
you will deny three times that you know me.”
(Luke 22:31-34).

This is love:
not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(1 John 4:10 NIV)

Ideal for the Season of Lent


Watch the triumphal entry of the donkey-riding king through the eyes of Marcus Longinus, the centurion charged with keeping the streets from erupting into open rebellion.

Look behind the scenes at the political plotting of King Herod, known as the scheming Fox for his ruthless shrewdness.

Get a front-row seat to the confrontation between the Jewish high priest Caiaphas and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate.

Understand as never before the horror of the decision to save a brutal terrorist in order to condemn the peaceful Jew to death.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

Simon Peter asked him,
“Lord, where are you going?”

Jesus replied,
“Where I am going,
you cannot follow now,
but you will follow later.”

Peter asked,
“Lord, why can’t I follow you now?
I will lay down my life for you.”

Then Jesus answered,
“Will you really lay down your life for me?
Very truly I tell you,
before the rooster crows,
you will disown me three times!

A New Command 

When he [Judas] was gone,
Jesus said,
“Now the Son of Man is glorified
and God is glorified in him.
If God is glorified in him,
God will glorify the Son in himself,
and will glorify him at once.

“My children,
I will be with you only a little longer.
You will look for me,
and just as I told the Jews,
so I tell you now:
Where I am going,
you cannot come.

“A new command I give you:
Love one another.
As I have loved you,
so you must love one another.
By this everyone will know
that you are my disciples,
if you love one another.”

I thank you for Jesus.

Judas Betrays Jesus 

His disciples stared at one another,
at a loss to know which of them he meant.
One of them,
the disciple whom Jesus loved,
was reclining next to him.
Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said,
“Ask him which one he means.”

Leaning back against Jesus,
he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”

Jesus answered,
“It is the one to whom
I will give this piece of bread
when I have dipped it in the dish.”
Then, dipping the piece of bread,
he gave it to Judas,
the son of Simon Iscariot. 
As soon as Judas took the bread,
Satan entered into him.

So Jesus told him,
“What you are about to do, do quickly.” 
But no one at the meal understood
why Jesus said this to him. 
Since Judas had charge of the money,
some thought Jesus was telling him
to buy what was needed for the festival,
or to give something to the poor. 
As soon as Judas had taken the bread,
he went out.
And it was night.
(John 13:22-30).

Fountain, Butchart Gardens, Victoria, BC — photo by David Kitz


Today’s

Reading: Psalm 42:1-5

Listen to today’s reading by Jonathan Dent:

LORD God,
I thank you for Jesus.
I am thankful you are the true water of life
and when we drink of your Spirit,
springs of water flow from us
to you and to others.
Hallelujah!
Amen.

     — — — —


Jesus Washes His Disciples Feet 

 Jesus knew that the Father
had put all things under his power,
and that he had come from God
and was returning to God; 
so he got up from the meal,
took off his outer clothing,
and wrapped a towel around his waist. 
After that,
he poured water into a basin
and began to wash his disciples’ feet,
drying them with the towel
that was wrapped around him.

He came to Simon Peter,
who said to him,
“Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”

Jesus replied,
“You do not realize now what I am doing,
but later you will understand.”

“No,” said Peter,
“you shall never wash my feet.”

Jesus answered,
“Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”

“Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied,
“not just my feet
but my hands and my head as well!”

Jesus answered,
“Those who have had a bath
need only to wash their feet;
their whole body is clean.
And you are clean,
though not every one of you.” 
For he knew who was going to betray him,
and that was why he said not every one was clean.
(John 13:3-11).

This is love:
not that we loved God,

I thank you for Jesus.

Through Jesus,

Jesus Predicts His Betrayal 

“I am not referring to all of you;
I know those I have chosen.
But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:
‘He who shared my bread
has turned against me.’
I am telling you now before it happens,
so that when it does happen
you will believe that I am who I am.
Very truly I tell you,
whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me;
and whoever accepts me
accepts the one who sent me.”

After he had said this,
Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified,
“Very truly I tell you,
one of you is going to betray me”
(John 13:18-21).*


This is love:
not that we loved God,

Jesus Shows Compassion 

Jesus went through all the towns and villages,
teaching in their synagogues,
proclaiming the good news of the kingdom
and healing every disease and sickness. 
When he saw the crowds,
he had compassion on them,
because they were harassed and helpless,
like sheep without a shepherd. 
Then he said to his disciples,
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”
(Matthew 9:35-37 NIV)*


This is love:

the administration of this mystery,
which for ages past was kept hidden in God,
who created all things.
