“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” - Galatians 2:20
Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. This is a time for all people to turn from vices, sins, and earthly distractions in order to better align with the heart and values of Christ. Throughout the Bible, people would demonstrate repentance by wearing ashes. Placed in the sign of the cross, they also can show our devotion to Jesus. Through Him, we turn from sin and die to our old ways. As we trust in Jesus, He raises us into new life. Let today be a new beginning for you!
