Beginning this Wednesday with Ash Wednesday the Christian season of Lent begins, in which we will all begin a journey. For the next forty days of Lent I will be discussing what it means to be a cross follower, and how this journey speaks to the inward journey of our souls.
Cross - bearing and following speaks to discipleship and our everyday walk of following the cross in identification of what Christ's actions mean for humanity. By our following the cross we must consider our own lives and daily actions in relationship and acknowledgement of Christ's life giving gift for saving of the lives of humanity.
Brothers and Sisters, each day of Lent will draw us closer and closer to the cross and thus closer and closer to Christ. As we follow the cross of Christ we will truly begin to understand what it means to be a Christ follower.
As we draw closer to the cross each and everyone of us will truly be able to see what Jesus Christ has done for us. Being a follower of the cross is to understand that Jesus Christ has liberated us and given us the choice to freely follow him.
May our journey this Lent be a discerning one in which we contemplate what it means to be a follower of the cross of Christ.
A Follower on the Journey With You!
