At the Crossroads is our Sunday Lenten Series this year. Next week looks at Jesus as He is taken into custody and He chooses to show compassion to a wounded participant in the arrest. We are called to show compassion, not anger, even to those in our midst whom we might consider our enemies, loving others as Christ loved us.
