Ash Wednesday

Lent begins with the need to confront the reality of this frail and broken world. These bodies we walk in are feeble and vulnerable. They will one day fail, and we will be returned to the ground as dust. The basic truth of life is nothing new, with the Jewish population 2000 years ago being all too aware the generations of Israelites, both faithful and not, eventually fell to death and so too would they. And so too will we. In order to begin the process of following Jesus, we must accept that we are walking a path with him that will direct us towards a greater promise. It will not remove pain or heartbreak or death. But it will give assurance in the face of it. The promise made to Abraham, to Isaac, to David, to John, will be fulfilled in Christ.
