"Broken: Preparing for Easter," is a series that delves into the profound significance of the Lenten season. Lent challenges believers to confront the profound implications of Jesus's death, paving the way for understanding the depth of our life in him. Throughout this series, we will explore four pivotal moments where Jesus directed his disciples' attention to the indispensable nature of his sacrifice on the cross. Join us as we journey through these encounters, illuminating the path toward Easter's ultimate redemption and renewal.
In this episode, "Beyond Ritual: Inner Renewal Required", When Jesus disrupted the temple, he prophetically staged the confrontation that would lead to his death. More than that, he highlighted how empty religious ritual falls woefully short of the sincere faith God desires. If our hearts are not fully devoted, we fail to grasp the meaning of the cross.
