Isaiah reminds that God's mercy is unconditional even for those who stray, and God's greatest power is shown through forgiveness. Romans affirms that baptism allows a new story through relationship with God. The Gospel proclaims that Jesus has risen from the dead, showing that those who seek God will find life, not death.
