Returning..Lent#2026

It’s not too late..this is an excellent post by Rainer which can be read on this link.

Return With All Your Heart | Joel 2:12-13

I heard a simple but profound message the other week.

It’s something as followers of Jesus we know but need to keep returning to the simple truth.

The gospel is not about Jesus..it IS Jesus.

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Lent invites us on a journey of discovering Jesus, more and more of Jesus.

That’s true life and it can start today, right this minute and right this second.

It just takes a desire in our hearts to know Jesus more and more.

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore let us, as many as are mature, have this mind; and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭7‬-‭16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
