Sunday Morning, February 26, 2012 First Sunday in Lent The first reading is the end of the story of Noah. In this section, God tells Noah that God is establishing an everlasting covenant between God and all living beings, all flesh. God tells Noah that the rainbow … is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all the flesh that is on the earth. The content of the covenant is that ... never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth. The church has always read that to mean that God has promised a world which is amenable to the flourishing of life.
The Mark reading is the beginning of Jesus ministry, and as is typical in the Gospel of Mark, it is told with extreme brevity. In 6 verses, we have Jesus baptized by John, Jesus driven into the wilderness and tempted by Satan, and then Jesus coming back after John’s arrest with his first words of definition for his ministry: The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the good news.
