Lent and this prayer and worship service offer us all the same thing… opportunity.
What might it mean for us as individuals, but also as a congregation and as a community, to look deeply into the reality of our souls and be reminded why Good Friday and Easter had to happen? Easter is a season of celebration, but it is also a season of reckoning. It’s a time when we come face to face with the reality that Jesus had to die because humanity didn’t have the capacity to die to ourselves.
One had to die so that many could have life.
Even in that truth, today we have the privilege to live on the other side of the resurrection.
