Lenten Journey, Day 4

Within your temple, O God, we meditate on your unfailing love. -Psalm 48:9

Concentrated times make for focused meditation. We cannot think about the birth, cross, empty grave, ascension simultaneously. Thus, the church structures the year in a way where each part of Jesus’ life is emphasized. In other words, the calendar gives us the opportunity to meditate on the whole Christ.

Lent is a corporate focus on the cross of Christ and the journey to that cruel tree. As we face with boldness the next thirty-seven days, we need to remember that Lent is a gift from God; a gift of time what we are to steward well.

As we prepare for worship tomorrow, we would do well to remember God’s unfailing love. In love, our Lord Jesus gave his body for us that we would be made whole. Use this season. Don’t let it pass in vain. Meditate on his love for Lent is the embodiment of love.
