Lent is a journey to the sacred days of Good Friday and Easter. It is not a journey through fields of bunnies, chicks, and painted eggs; it is a journey where we keep "bumping into" a real person, Jesus.
The place to journey with Jesus is in the Gospels. Often, however, the Jesus we encounter in the Gospels is surprising to us. Even after 2000 years, he surprises us.
A real encounter with Jesus will often do that. But the question is: Do we want a "real" encounter with Jesus? I hope that your answer is "yes"! Because it's time to get to know him!
