  • What Is Lent Anyway?
    What Is Lent Anyway? On Easter we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection. It is the most important day of the year for us as followers of Jesus. When Jesus is raised from the dead, he breaks the power of sin and death in our lives, sets us free from our bondages to addictions and bad behaviors and gives us hope for the present and for the future. The implications of what God has done for us through Jesus are staggering. We need time to wrap our minds around it. That’s where the season of Lent comes in. Lent is a time of preparation. As Advent helps us to prepare for Christmas, Lent helps us to prepare for Easter. During the season of Lent, we have the chance to reflect on what God has done, to ponder its implications for our lives and to respond with faith and obedience. Henri Nouwen wrote: “Lent is a time of returning to God. It is a time to confess how we keep looking for Joy, peace and satisfaction in the many people and things surrounding us, without really finding what we desire. Only God can give us what we want. So we must be reconciled with God, as Paul says, and let that reconciliation be the basis of our relationships with others. Lent is a time of refocusing, or re-entering the place of truth, of claiming our true identity.” We hope that you will use this season of Lent to spend more time reading God’s Word. To help you do that, the pastoral team has written a Lenten devotional guide.
