| Devotional for Ash Wednesday |
| Dear Family and Friends, Today marks the start of Lenten Season. Lenten season is the solemn Christian religious season from Ash Wednesday to EASTER, 40 weekdays, kept as a time of fasting and repenting of sins. Some people like to give up something in their lives that would be pleasing to God. Whatever, and however you chose to observe and honor this sacred season, is your choice. It is a wonderful time of starting over, purging ourselves of sin through the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ's death on the cross and his resurrection to eternal glory. We have that promise for our lives. Our church offers a time of open communion on this Wednesday evening from 5-6 PM. My husband and I will be in attendance. I hope that each one of you reading this devotional will find time this day to mark in your lives the beginning of the Lenten season, with a new beginning for your life, with hope and joy! Scripture I Corinthians 15:50-59 (NKJV) Key verse: 51-52 Behold I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed--in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. ( The Resurrected Body) Prayer Dear Father, Help us to remember that our lives on this earth is but a mere shadow and the things to come, eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ, the reason for Lenten/Easter season. In Jesus holy and precious name. |
