“What I Did for Love: I Felt Your Pain” – Lent is a 40-day observance in
preparation for Easter. “Lent” comes from a word meaning “spring.” In a
real sense, this is a springtime for the soul, a time to clean house, a
time for renewal, a time to focus on the sacrifice of God through the death
and precious blood of His Son, Jesus Christ… Jesus was willing to suffer
pain for us! But why? Why would our Lord, who knew the pleasures of
heaven, enter our sin-sick world? Why did he allow himself to thirst, be
beaten and flogged? Why would he voluntarily go to the cross? … How else
could the God of heaven know us and free us from our guilt? Take comfort in
knowing that Jesus knows your pain.
