March 1: “Born Into Belonging”
Nicodemus seeks out Jesus and is invited to be born again by water and the spirit, into a new family and a new “center of gravity”.
He leaves unsettled.
By the end of the Gospel, we find him cradling the broken body of the one who invited him into new birth.
Born into belonging.
This is Lent’s ongoing invitation to us.
To “re-locate” ousrselves in Christ.
To re-center our lives not around nation, tribe, ideology, success, or even family — but around the love revealed in Jesus.
