We’re a few weeks into Lent, so it’s a good time to stop and think about how things are going. Are things different? Have you actually been sacrificing anything? Do you understand Jesus’ sacrifice better?
Lent is a great time to pray, reflect, and repent for our sins. It’s also a great time to think about what comes next. We’re getting closer to Easter, when Jesus will suffer, die… and rise again to new life!
What has “died” in your life? Pray about it but don’t dwell on it. Look up. Look forward. Look for what’s next! Yes, we experience the trials of Lent – but we are an Easter people. We are a people of new life!
