Today's scriptures begin a turn to hope even in the midst of Lent. The prophet Jeremiah speaks to the new covenant God will make with the people, where God's law shall be written within their hearts. The letter to the Hebrews refers to the appointment of Jesus as high priest under the order of Melchizedek. The name has its root in two Hebrew words, "melech" (king) and "tzedek" (righteous)king of righteousness.

He tells his disciples they must lose their lives in order to gain eternal life.
