A Journey to the Cross
A 40 Day Devotional for Lent on Luke 22-23
The season of Lent in the Christian Church is a time of preparation. We anticipate the energy and excitement around the good news of Easter Sunday and the Resurrection of Jesus. Most of us like that energy and excitement — and rightly so, since it is a radical, life-changing message.
Yet, we can’t get to the empty tomb without going through the Cross-event. Lent’s preparation is a time of soul-reflection, life confession, and introspective prayer with one goal in mind: to be drawn closer to the One who has called us His disciples.
I would like to invite you into this 40-day preparation time by joining me on a journey to the Cross of Christ using Chapters 22 and 23 of the Gospel of Luke as our guide. Each daily entry starts with a focal verse or passage from these chapters, moves us through some reflections on the Scriptures, and then closes with a brief prayer. It is meant to stimulate daily self-reflection in your relationship with God. Hopefully it inspires you to draw even deeper into the Bible and towards the One who died for you.
Whether you do the journey alone or with someone else or with your family, let Lent be a time when you seek out the Lord in a meaningful way. Trust Him with your life.
