Lenten Word 40: Resurrection

This is the word that has to end our Lenten Journey, resurrection. Coming back from the dead with new life. It is the hope of the ages that in Christ Jesus at long last the expected one, the Messiah, anointed by God to bring deliverance from those things that oppress us, had finally appeared. This is the 40th day of Lent. Lent ends tonight at midnight. Our prayer should be that what we took up during this time stay with us. What ever you gave up you can resume tomorrow if you truly need it.

The time of Lent should have drawn us closer to God and to God's Son, Jesus Christ. Our prayers, our scripture time, our worship time, our fellowship with believers, all should serve to remind us that God loves us and journeys with us throughout the entirety of our lives. Such is God's nature and such is God's love for you and me.

The best way to celebrate Resurrection is among believers in the House of God, where we can rejoice and give thanks for God's greatest gift to the world, His Son. Chief among our celebrations should be that which Jesus did to show us that God has power over sin and death.

PRAYER: Lord, thank You for this 40-Day journey. Thank You for the blessings and peace that has come my way and that I have shared with others. I pray that as we await tomorrow we would still have new life and new hope for our lives. And this in faith, in the strong name of Jesus our Lord, amen.
