The season of Lent is many things. It is a season of preparation, preparing our hearts for Easter. It is a season of repentance, bringing to the cross our sin and shame. It is a season of introspection, searching the depths of our hearts that we might root out all that keeps us from union with God. And while there are many ways to talk about these 40 days on the church calendar, we know that they are a journey that leads us to kneel before the cross of Christ on Good Friday, it leads us to an empty tomb on Easter Sunday, and it leads us into a world where resurrections are routine and the death of death is a reality and where all things are possible. Let us walk this journey together.
