The celebration of the Lent is an ancient Christian tradition, but not a personal tradition for many of us. In this message we look at the way Jesus set himself to travel to Jerusalem as a place He must go through on His journey back to Heaven. In a similar way at the beginning of Lent we set ourselves to travel through a season of self-sacrifice as we move toward Resurrection Sunday. The sacrifice does not have any merit except if it is part of what we must go through for the sake of God’s eternal purpose for us. Exploring what Luke 9 describes next about our call to follow Jesus sets the tone for how we embrace this journey. When it comes to the things that matter most, easier is not often better. Lent challenges us to count the cost of following Jesus so we may truly receive the blessings of life in Him.
