Download or read book Journey written by Suzanne Elizabeth Anderson and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2024-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It begins with this verse: "For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son..." (John 3:16) Lent is a season of repentance but it's also a season of hope. It is the journey, which through our penance, leads us to Christ. It is Christ's death that leads to his resurrection and our salvation. During Lent we are expressing our willingness to journey with Christ to the cross, we are saying, I will go with you. Lent travels through the end of winter and the first stirrings of spring, a time of rebirth at the end of which we will celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Dying to self, or the physical self, passing from this world to the next. Lent is a liminal space between heaven and earth. I believe we are closer to Heaven during this season than any other time of the year. But first, we must walk with Jesus to the cross. Let us begin, and travel together. These 40 Lent Devotionals will help us to grow closer to Jesus each day.

Download or read book Gathered into One written by and published by Augsburg Fortress. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathered into One provides daily devotions for each day from Ash Wednesday to the Resurrection of Our Lord/Vigil of Easter (traditionally known as Holy Saturday). Devotions begin with an evocative image and a brief passage from First Corinthians. The writers then bring their diverse voices and pastoral wisdom to the texts with quotations to ponder, reflections, and prayers. Portions of First Corinthians appear in the Revised Common Lectionary during each lectionary year. The apostle Paul writes this letter to the church in Corinth after hearing of quarreling and divisions among the people. He teaches the Corinthians that each person has a unique set of gifts from the Holy Spirit, given for the common good, and reminds them that the church is the body of Christ, joined together with one bread, one cup, one baptism, one God, and one Spirit. This theme of unity amid diversity is as timely now as it was when Paul wrote to the Corinthians.
