The Anglican Parish of Kilmore Reading: Genesis 2:15-17, 3:1-7

with Broadford, Tallarook and Pyalong The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of
Eden to till it and keep it. 16And the Lord God commanded the
PO Box 289 Kilmore 3764 man, ‘You may freely eat of every tree of the garden; 17but of the

the day that you eat of it you shall die.’

Your hand was heavy upon me day and night:
and my moisture was dried up like a drought in summer.
5
Then I acknowledged my sin to you:
and I my iniquity I did not hide;
6
I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the Lord’:
and so you forgave the wickedness of my sin.
7
For this cause shall everyone that is faithful make their prayer
to you in the day of trouble:
and in the time of the great water-flood, it shall not come
near them.
8
You are a place to hide me in, you will preserve me from
trouble:
you will surround me with deliverance on every side.
9
I will instruct you, and direct you in the way that you should
go:
I will fasten my eye upon you, and give you counsel.
10
‘Be not like horse or mule, that have no understanding:
whose forward course must be curbed with bit and
bridle.’
11
Great tribulations remain for the ungodly:
but whoever puts their trust in the Lord, mercy embraces
them on every side.
11
Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, and be glad:
and shout for joy, all you that are true of heart.
Second Reading: Romans 5:12-21
12
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man,
and death came through sin, and so death spread to all because
all have sinned— 13sin was indeed in the world before the law,
but sin is not reckoned when there is no law. 14Yet death
exercised dominion from Adam to Moses, even over those
whose sins were not like the transgression of Adam, who is a
type of the one who was to come.
But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died
through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the
grace of God and the free gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus
Christ, abounded for the many. 16And the free gift is not like the
effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgement following one
trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many
trespasses brings justification. 17If, because of the one man’s
trespass, death exercised dominion through that one, much more
surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free
gift of righteousness exercise dominion in life through the one
man, Jesus Christ.
18
Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for
all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and
life for all. 19For just as by the one man’s disobedience the many
were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will
be made righteous. 20But law came in, with the result that the
trespass multiplied; but where sin increased, grace abounded all
the more, 21so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so
grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading
to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted by the devil. 2He fasted for forty days and forty nights,
and afterwards he was famished. 3The tempter came and said to
him, ‘If you are the Son of God, command these stones to
become loaves of bread.’ 4But he answered, ‘It is written,
“One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that
comes from the mouth of God.” ’
5
Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the
pinnacle of the temple, 6saying to him, ‘If you are the Son of
God, throw yourself down; for it is written, “He will command
his angels concerning you”, and “On their hands they will bear
you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.” ’
7
Jesus said to him, ‘Again it is written, “Do not put the Lord
your God to the test.” ’
8
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed
him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour; 9and he
said to him, ‘All these I will give you, if you will fall down and
worship me.’ 10Jesus said to him, ‘Away with you, Satan! for it is
written, “Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.” ’
11
Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited
on him.
For the Gospel of the Lord: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Pew Reflections for the 1st Sunday in Lent
Quite often during Bible talks at the Juvenile Justice centre we talk about
how when you are at your lowest point that is when Satan tries to get in and
tempt you to do the wrong thing. It is at this time that we need to be
strong and not give into temptation. We must also be aware that there are
people who will take scripture texts and twist them in such a way that they
may appear to condone sinful behaviour.
• Pray for those who do take Scripture out of context and use it to
their own advantage and pray that others will know that they have
been tempted and not give in to temptation.
• Give thanks for all those who work to provide Bibles to others in
their own tongues.
