The Lenten Season

3/2/2015

 
The Lenten season is upon us and it is truly a time to look inward instead of outward.  Who are you?   We are currently studying the "I AM's" of Jesus Christ from the book The God We Can Know. 

"I AM the Bread of Life" -- what truly satisfies you and nourishes you?
"I AM the Light of the World" -- we are on a journey from darkness to Light which is why we need to look deep inside of ourselves to discover what darkness there is in order for the Light to shine through that darkness. 
"I AM the Good Shepherd" -- we all want to be loved and Jesus loves us and genuinely cares for us. 
"I AM the True Vine" -- we need to stay focused on Jesus Christ and prune that darkness away. 
"I AM the Way, the Truth, and the Life" -- Jesus invites us to follow him.
"I AM the Resurrection and the Life" -- we need to fully believe and trust in Jesus Christ.
This Lenten season is a time to look deep within yourself and discover the person God created in you which will give you a closer relationship with God.  Many people give up something for Lent, but is it something you will need to rely on Jesus to get you through?  If you don't want to give up anything, add to your life by doing an act of kindness every day, or read the Bible and reflect on what you have read, or come to one of our Sunday school classes or Bible study classes, come and worship.  Start journaling your life to see where God has lead you.

There is so much happening in the world today, we need to trust and believe in Jesus Christ.  Living the life Jesus wants us to live is putting our faith and trust in Jesus always.  Let people see the Light through you.  So many times we fail to see God at work because our focus is on our own lives.  Give your life to Jesus and begin to follow him this Lenten season.  I pray for each one of you.  May your relationship with God grow closer together this season.
