The Servant, the Thief, and the Powerful: A Sermon for Monday in Holy Week

During Holy Week, we hear the four Servant Songs found in Isaiah, as well as recall the events of Holy Week as told to us by Saint John's Gospel.  Fig Monday, the first day of Holy Week, calls us to remember both the first Servant Song, as well as the events at the home of Lazarus, Martha, and Mary after Lazarus has been raised from the dead.  The scripture passages are Isaiah 42:1-9 and John 12:1-11.  Father Blackburn is the preacher this evening.
