Cycle B Gospel Text Sermons for Lent and Easter
Today our Lenten journey takes us to a festival and attending the festival are some Greeks. The mention of Greeks in our text for today is important. They were wanderers of the ancient world and they were seekers of the truth. We can surmise that these Greeks were what was known as "Godfearers" who attended Jewish synagogues and festivals. Their inclusion in this narrative has meaning because it is symbolic of the coming of Gentiles to worship God through Christ.
