THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT

How Christ’s death takes away thy sins thou wilt never know on earth-perhaps not in heaven. It is a mystery which thou must believe and adore. But why He died, thou canst see at the first glance, if thou hast a human heart and wilt look at what God means thee to look at-Christ upon His Cross. He died because He was love-love itself-love boundless, unconquerable, unchangeable-love which inhabits eternity, and therefore could not be hardened or foiled by any sin or rebellion of man, but must love men still; must go out to seek and save them; must dare, suffer any misery, shame, death itself, for their sake; just because it is absolute and prefect Love which inhabits eternity.

Charles Kingsley[1]

40 Day Lenten Bible Study

Christians often hear about God’s love for us, but have they truly felt and believed in His love? Prior to Christ’s death on the cross, no one saw God’s love in its full measure. But God revealed His love to the whole world through the cross and resurrection. This Lenten Bible Study provides an in-depth look into the transformative power of God’s love. Readers will examine the most central part in the whole arrangement of the Gospel of John from the Last Supper (John 13) to Christ’s crucifixion (John 19:30). – Taken from The Cross of Christ: 40 Day Lenten Bible Study through the Gospel of John with illustrations by Christy Tran.
