Greetings!
How’s your Lent going so far? Is there a particular practice or discipline you’ve taken on as a part of your preparations for Easter? I was thinking about some of the things I’ve heard from people, and other things that I’ve done myself – what struck me is that so many of these practices or disciplines are about what we feel we should NOT DO as an expression of our faithfulness. But in the reading for this upcoming Sunday Jesus talks about how grains of wheat are supposed to
fall into the ground and how he has come into the world
in order to face an hour of crisis.
What would it mean for us if Lent – and following Jesus to the cross – wasn’t about taking a break from our regular lives or regular ways? What might it be that God intends for us to discover, so that we might live more fully into the resurrection life of Easter?
Come join us this Sunday as we do our best to find out.
Faithfully,
Hardy
