Lenten Devotional 2016

Lenten Devotional 2016 (48)

Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Good Friday, beginning on Ash Wednesday which, this year, happens to fall on February 10th, the third day of Chinese New Year. Historically the church has used the Lenten season to focus on our Lord's journey to the cross, as well as our willingness to travel with him. Members of our congregation contributed the devotional writings on these pages. You may use it as a resource in your own walk with the Lord Jesus.

Isaiah 49:1–6; John 13:21–33, 36–38 All genuine disciples of Jesus want to bring glory to God in their lives. But in fact, what does it mean to glorify God? In the passage from John’s gospel, the key is found…

Philippians 2:8–9 Escaping from the finitude of our existence is hard as this universe is destined to be dead in the future. Other cosmic events apart from the coming of Christ would not help and our human physical existence fare even worse…

The church is the place where the gospel of Jesus Christ impacts the people of Jesus Christ. It is where people come before the cross of Christ, to confess their sins, to lay down their worries, to submit their prayers, to open their hearts, to receive love, forgiveness, salvation, peace, hope, and power from the cross of Christ.
