We got fresh word recently that a number of churches, from a variety of denominations, are using 40 Days Living the Jesus Creed<\/a>\"\"\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>for Lent.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So let me encourage you, if you are looking for ideas, to consider using Lent as a time to reflect on and pray about and practice loving God and loving others \u2014 with a view to God\u2019s love in the cross and resurrection.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We tend to think of Lent as a time of sorrow and repentance and grief, and that is one of its core ideas. But we don\u2019t grieve in order to heighten our capacity to grieve or repent so we can focus on our ability to repent. If Lent has its proper impact, it will form us spiritually \u2014 and to be formed spiritually is to grow in love of God and love of others.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This book has 40 short studies on the Jesus Creed \u2014 beginning with Jesus and then developing how the rest of the New Testament took Jesus\u2019 fundamental idea and reapplied it and reused it and saw it as the center of how a follower of Jesus is to live.<\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
