The Meaning of Lent
I am a believer of a simple faith in Jesus Christ and all he has done for me.
Lent is a time I work on myself trying to be follower of Christ in my journey.
I pray a meditate on the grace of God who sent Jesus to save me many years ago.
Every year during Lent I reflect on how far I have grown in my Christian life and how short I have failed. Then I thank God for forgiving me and ask him to strengthen me to overcome my short coming.
A few year ago I visited a church. On that day the choir sung a hymnal that had a deep meaning to my faith with these words: Jesus purchased my salvation way back on Calvary tree. He conquered sins and death and grave just because He loved me.
Since that day Lent has new meaning. I understand that Jesus had done what I could not do and I am grateful for that.
John 3:16-17, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him”
