A Note From Our Pastors
‘I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Luke 5:32
With Ash Wednesday behind us, we have entered the season of Lent, the forty days before Easter Sunday. One of the major thrusts of Lent is the message of repentance.
The verse above from Luke 5 are words of Jesus spoken after He had been taken to task for hanging out with sinful people. (By the way, those are the only kind of people there are!)
The beauty of repentance and the season of Lent is that, while repentance calls us to look at our lives and realize that we are a mess in so many ways, the goal of repentance is to lead us to Jesus where our sin is completely forgiven. Jesus never intends to leave us feeling guilty for the sin in our lives, He wants to leave us thankful for the forgiveness we have in His death and resurrection for us.
Let me close with a Lenten prayer for you.
Father thank you for sending Jesus to call sinful people like me to repentance. Thank you for Jesus and the truth that, in His death and resurrection for me, all of my sin is forgiven, and I belong to you. Help me to grasp both how sinful I am and how loved I am in Jesus.
With repentant joy in Jesus,
Kevin and Marty
