As we journey through Lent this year, I want to concentrate on the theme: Encountering the Cross. We are all called to carry our cross. Jesus says, "For whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." (Matt 16:24). We know this, yet sometimes we are surprised that as we work to grow closer to God, suddenly, the cross stands before us. Our first response is, "Why? Why is this necessary? I'm trying so hard to follow You." Although this may be our first response, it is not the most important. Our second response to the cross is more important. What are we going to do next?
The series will begin tomorrow.
