Many people of many denominations are observing a season of Lent, a time when we give up something for a period of time as a way of sacrifice. During this time many will pray more than any other time of year either individually or in groups, and the season will carry us through the celebration of Easter. But I pray that this year would be the year when we truly go beyond a season and give ourselves fully to the faith that draws us to the cross.
For us, when Easter comes and goes we so easily fall back into the routine of religion, we pick back up that thing we "sacrificed" for forty days...but what about Jesus? We too often look at the most vital moments of the foundation of our faith as merely dates on a calendar, or events to be attended, it is so much more, He is so much more.
