Lutheran Church of the Savior Sermon Audio, 3/3/13

Third Sunday of Lent, Lectionary Year CIsaiah 55: 1-9We read this passage from Isaiah 55 every year at the Vigil of Easter, as one of the great Hebrew Scripture stories of God's mercy and faithfulness through all of human history. Set alongside such rich, popular tales as the creation story, Noah and the flood, crossing the red sea, Ezekiel's dry bones, and Daniel's friends in the fiery furnace, what is it about this Isaiah reading that makes it an annual requirement at our most sacred gathering of the year?
