Lent @ City Life Church

Wednesday 10th February 2010

 

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 

2 Chronicles 7:14

 

Walking with Christ

That which was from the beginning,

            That which we have heard

                        That which we have seen

                                    That which we have beheld

                                                That which we have touched

 Concerning the word (logos, revelation, reason) that was the LIFE (Jesus!)

...and this life was manifested among us"

1 John 1:1.

 

Lent is simply deepening our association with Jesus.  In His life, teaching, death and resurrection. 
It holds a sense of getting ready for Easter and entering into what Jesus experienced as he too walked the same earth.

t's amazing to realise Jesus was (and is!) God in 3D. 

As we devote this season to prayer and living, my prayer is that we may search and creatively encounter Jesus in renewed and dawning authenticity.  Just what could happen when one wakes again to the confidence that the Spirit of Christ is alive and present in and among us now?!  Even in us as a church in Cambridge!

Each week we will be absorbing a different text of the Gospel that will walk the journey with Christ to the cross, and the celebration weekend of his resurrection. 

That I might know Him, the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings…

Philippians 3:10

This is eternal life: that they might know you, the only true God.

John 17:3
