LENTEN SEASON. What this got to do with the life of Christ and His Cricifixion? Is this what we're really celebrating or the tradition has overpowered the real essence of remembering what Christ did on the cross two thousand years ago? There's simply a lot of things we do because we're born to it but never really know what's the essence of doing it.
As we celebrate the season, let us be reminded that Christ sacrifice is enough for all our sins and there's no other blood that can ever be offered for the remission of our sins. Paul writes, "The law is only a shadow of the good things that are coming—not the realities themselves. For this reason it can never, by the same sacrifices REPEATED ENDLESSLY YEAR AFTER YEAR, make perfect those who draw near to worship... And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary."
One of Christ's final words declared that what He did is enough, He said, "IT IS FINISHED!" Death is FINISHED! Sin is FINISHED! There's no other thing that we can do to repay Him for what He did!
Enjoy the rest of the season with the LOVE of the Father, the Forgiveness of the Son Jesus Christ and the comfort and dwelling of the Holy Spirit in us.
In Christ,
Jim
