places of the passion
A Sermon Series Based on the G ospel of Luke
Holy Shepherd Lutheran Church
The scenes of Lent are familiar — the upper room, the garden of G ethsemane, the halls of Pontius Pilate and the hills of G olgotha. These are the places we remember when we
meditate on our Lord’s passion. Yet when Jesus enters a place, he never leaves it as he found it. The most troubling places of our lives become the most amazing places of god’s grace when Jesus visits them.
For this reason, we will revisit the places of the passion during Lent. Our focus will not be on the physical locations of our lord’s
passion but on the spiritual wonders of his work. Week after week, we will enter these places only to discover settings of devotion and occasions to pause and remember G od’s love for a fallen world.
