Cornerstone Bible Study - 2/29 "He who humbles himself will be exalted"

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

Here is the information for this week's Bible study.

We are justified and saved by grace alone from God through the merits of Jesus, not from our own "good" deeds. Such is the theme of this week's gospel passage.

"Lord, how easy it is for us to be like the pharisee in this story, reminding you how hard we have worked to please you and expecting you to reward us for our labors. Give us a new and humble heart to be like the children, where all we ask for and desire is to be near to you and receive your blessing despite our unworthiness".

Do not forget your Lenten prayer exercise and bring the harvest of your prayer or your experience of the presence of God for sharing after Bible study.

God Bless,
Maria
