Ash Wednesday – Beginning of Lent — 2 Comments

  1. Thanks for this post, Janice. The church I grew up in did not have an Ash Wednesday service nor did we give up something for Lent. The idea was that because Jesus paid it ALL, we no longer have to make sacrifices for our sins like the people did in the Old Testament. I am not saying we should not celebrate Lent or Ash Wednesday. I believe it’s a matter of the heart. If someone feels called to give up something during this season to draw the closer to God, then it is a worthy practice.

    • Thank you Crystal. I like to find ways to help me focus on this season of the year so that it is more than a spring celebration. Sometimes I give up something but not always. I mostly want to spend more time in the Word and reflect on the sacrifice he paid for my debt of sin.
