Sermons for Lent and Easter During Cycle B
Once upon a time, tragedy struck a small church family where an eighteen-year-old boy took his own life. A suicide note was discovered that revealed a heartbreaking reality. The note said, in part, that the boy would rather die than to ask for help. He would rather die than to take a long, hard look at himself and expose his weaknesses to another person. He would rather die than to risk a change of heart and ask God for help. As extreme as that attitude seems, it's probably not uncommon. The miracle is that one could continue to live that way for a lifetime.1
