Lent reflection

We have just entered a period on the Christian calendar known as ‘Lent’. It is a period of 40 days (not counting Sundays) when we think of the time Jesus Christ went into the wilderness and was tempted to use His powers for His own gratification instead of following God’s plan. The period ends with Jesus being crucified on Good Friday and then rising from the dead on Easter Sunday.

He did this because He and God the Father loved us so very much. He did it so we can have a relationship with God the Father, a relationship that was broken and messed up  by Adam and Eve, the first man and woman. We can ask God to forgive us for all the wrong things we have thought, said, or done in our lives, and then ask for the Lord Jesus Christ to come into our lives and make us new, and to restore our broken relationship with God.

The most wonderful part is that He has promised to do so and will therefore not let us down!
