3/29/20: 5th Sunday of Lent: Jesus, the Remedy for our Spiritual Death

The past three weeks we have heard three dramatic stories of encounters with Jesus from John's Gospel: the encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, the healing of the man born blind, and the raising of Lazarus. In each, the person encountered has a desperate problem. In each, Jesus provides the remedy. Looking at these stories from a spiritual perspective, we see how our own problems -- our unquenchable thirst, our spiritual blindness, and the death that occurs in our souls because of sin -- have a remedy: Baptism and life in Christ.
