Athletes, entertainers, and politicians are often credited with making incredible comebacks. This week LinC celebrates Easter and the most extraordinary comeback in history. Because Christ defeated death, we know that he can redeem us and deliver us from any struggle we face. How do we claim this transforming power of Jesus' resurrection? Key Scriptures: Job 1:13—2:10; Luke 15:11-32; Philippians 3:7-16. The Vatican recently issued a list of the "new seven deadly sins." This list of vices, which includes pollution and genetic manipulation, seeks to identify new ways that sin is manifest in today's morally and technologically complex world. Next week LinC looks at sin, the effects of sin on our personal lives and on society as a whole, and how we can live virtuously in a sinful world.
