What is Lent? Why do Christians celebrate it? Why 40 days? What have I done for lent?

Here’s the Bible info I was reading about the number 40

Moses was also on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 - 28), receiving God's laws. He also sent spies, for forty days, to investigate the land God had promised the Israelites as an inheritance (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).

The prophet Jonah powerfully warned ancient Nineveh, for forty days, that its destruction would come because of its many sins.The prophet Ezekiel laid on His right side for 40 days to symbolize Judah's sins (Ezekiel 4:6).

Elijah went 40 days without food or water at Mount Horeb. Jesus was tempted by the devil not just three times, but many times during the 40 days and nights he fasted just before his ministry began. He also appeared to his disciples and others for 40 days after his resurrection from the dead.

The number forty can also represent a generation of man. Because of their sins after leaving Egypt, God swore that the generation of Israelites who left Egyptian bondage would not enter their inheritance in Canaan (Deuteronomy 1). The children of Israel were punished by wandering the wilderness 40 years before a new generation was allowed to possess the promised land.

In a culture of highlight reels and instagram aesthetics its easy for our walk with god to turn into one big performance for everyone else instead of an honest seeking of Jesus for ourselves

but in this podcast we’re going to read through the bible together and also get real and talk about the joys and struggles of being a Christian in this day and age

because well…why not

In today’s episode we will be jumping right into Mark Chapter 1

For study questions see my Insta x

Just for some context:

It is generally held that this gospel was written by John Mark, the nephew of Barnabas, and is the earliest of the four gospels. According to tradition it is based on the teaching of the apostle Peter, whose interpreter Mark became (cf 1 Peter. 5:13), and was written in Rome for the church there. It begins with a short preliminary statement of John the Baptist’s ministry, and of the baptism and temptation of Jesus, and then passes on to His public ministry in Galilee. In common with the other Gospels, it devotes a comparatively large space to Jesus’ sufferings, death, resurrection.

The story centres in the confession of Peter, ‘You are the Christ’ (8:27-29). Up to that time it tells of our Lord’s activity in preaching and healing; but after the confession of Peter, Jesus makes known to the Twelve that He must suffer and die, and be raised the third day, and His face is turned towards the cross. The disciples failed to understand; and the work of Jesus in this latter half of the Gospel consists largely in teaching His disciples, and seeking to wean them from the false ideas of the Kingdom that possessed their minds.

The closing verses of the Gospel (16:9-20) do not appear to be the original ending. Some ancient manuscripts end at 16:8, and others have a different paragraph at the close. However, these verses contain the great missionary commission and have an established claim to be regarded as a part of Scripture.

My verse of the day:

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”

-Mark 1:15
