Lent: A Season for Repentance and Renewal

What is Lent? In the Christian tradition, Lent is a period of penitential preparation for Easter, which begins on Ash Wednesday in Western churches. Lent is observed for 40 days, like the fast of Jesus in the wilderness, and it focuses on “fasting, prayer, and almsgiving.” I encourage you to explore more about the history and traditions of Lent. 

Respected British scholar, N. T. Wright, proposes that “Lent is a time for discipline, for confession, for honesty, not because God is mean or fault-finding or finger-pointing but because he wants us to know the joy of being cleaned out, ready for all the good things he now has in store.”

Lent is a time for repentance and a season for spiritual renewal. Perhaps over the past year we have neglected some of the important spiritual practices such as prayer, devotional reading, confession, thanksgiving, and worship participation. Maybe we have made poor ethical or moral decisions. Or possibly we have grown inactive or dormant in our spiritual walk.

Lent is a great time to reconnect, recommit, and reengage. To maximize the opportunity to deepen our spiritual walk, I suggest that we refresh our devotional life (including prayer and Bible reading). In addition to the hard print editions of Reflections and Open Windows, there are many online devotional options available for your Lenten reading:
MorningStar - Living Lent Campaign – Morningstar (morningstarcfs.org)
Journey to the Cross - d365 Daily Devotionals
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary - Lent Devotionals (pts.edu)
Today Devotional- Devotions about Lent - Today Daily Devotional
Sacred Space - Sacred Space | Your daily prayer online
I also hope you will prioritize your participation in worship during Lent. Consistent involvement in worship leads to life transformation. Our spring series from the gospel of John is focused on Following the Footsteps of Jesus.

Walter Brueggemann contends that Lent is liberating: “I imagine Lent for you and for me as a great departure from the greedy, anxious anti-neighborliness of our economy, a great departure from our exclusionary politics that fears the other, a great departure from self-indulgent consumerism that devours creation. And then an arrival in a new neighborhood, because it is a gift to be simple, it is a gift to be free; it is a gift to come down where we ought to be.”
