I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised
him from the dead. I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, so
that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the
dead! Philippians 3: 10-11
Who wants to suffer? It’s not something we typically choose, nor
should we without good reason. But Jesus did choose to suffer,
because of his tremendous love for us. He chose to enter into our
suffering here on earth, in order to give us life. Lent is a season
during which we choose to identify with Jesus, sharing in his
sufferings, not for some morbid fascination with suffering, but in
order to experience the resurrection life and power we can only
have in fellowship with him. This Lenten journey of 40 days
prepares us to more wholeheartedly experience and celebrate the
reality of resurrection joy when Easter comes.
Given that choosing a path that includes suffering is not usually
our first choice, it could be helpful at the start of this Lenten
season to set aside a few hours to focus on what it might mean to
share in Jesus’ suffering in our daily lives. You are invited to a
Lenten Retreat on Saturday, February 25th to join with others in
seeking fellowship with Jesus, as we choose to share in his
sufferings and experience his resurrection power in our lives.
While this is not specifically a Sketching as Prayer retreat, you are
welcome to bring sketching supplies if you'd like (and I'll be
sketching.)
