This weekend we hit the midpoint of Lent, three Sundays behind us and three Sundays to Easter. Although we always have reasons to hope, having the end in sight is a good one. Another reason to hope comes from today’s second reading. Paul reminds the community at Ephesus that we have been saved through God’s great love for us in Christ. This salvation is a “gift from God.” Nothing we can do will earn it. However, there are lots of things we are able to do to show God how grateful we are!
