Lent
The Cross cannot be defeated, for it is Defeat. - G.K. Chesterton
The Cross cannot be defeated, for it is Defeat. - G.K. Chesterton
Lent (starting tomorrow) is a time for discipline, for confession, for honesty. Not because God is mean or fault-finding, but because He wants us to know the joy of being cleaned out, ready for all the good things He has in store. - N.T. Wright
Ash Wednesday initiates the Lent season, signifying repentance and mortality by marking believers' foreheads with ashes in the shape of a cross.
His blood poured out, my sin erased
The road to the cross teaches us this: The journey might be painful, but the end is greater than the struggle.
Is this the kind of fast I have chosen, only a day for people to humble themselves? Is it only for bowing one’s head like a reed and for lying in sackcloth and ashes? Is that what you call a fast, a day acceptable to the LORD? - Isaiah 58:5
