LENT 2022
Lent 2022 began on Wednesday, March 2and ends on Thursday, April 142022
A little about Lent; Lent is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar commemorating the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the desert, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, before beginning his public ministry, during which he endured temptation by Satan.
Dear podcast listeners
As you stroll through the local stores, you’ll see an abundance of bunnies, baskets, and candy for sale, and those may be the only signs of Easter you’ll find outside of the church. Easter is primarily uncommercialized, unlike its Christmas counterpart, which is pretty remarkable: the day that we celebrate the glory of Christ’s resurrection remains untainted by retailers.
However, just because we’re not receiving Easter ad upon Easter ad in our newspapers and inboxes doesn’t mean we should pigeonhole the holiday as a minor celebration. Easter is perhaps the most important holiday on the Christian calendar—even the word crucial has its roots in Christianity, stemming from the term crucify.
And the Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. He was in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan, and he was with the wild beasts, and the angels waited on him. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, proclaiming the Good News of God, and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God has come near; repent, and believe in the Good News. ”– Mark 1:12-15
The season we call Lent, the forty days before Easter, represents the forty days Jesus spent in the wilderness, continually tempted by Satan.
When He emerged from the wilderness, He knew it was time for the prophecy of His death and resurrection to be fulfilled.
As believers, we remember this. We look to this time of Lent as a way to go into our own ‘wilderness’ of sorts; we pray, we fast, we meditate, we worship, we focus on God. We ready ourselves for the grief of Christ’s death, and we take joy in the gospel of His rising again. We are granted eternal life through Christ; the Messiah lifted up.
I invite you to join us as we take a closer look at the life of Christ these next few weeks as we recall what this season is all about.
Blessings in Christ,
