Day 3 of Lent/Seeking Jesus: John 3
Lent isn't just about religious rituals; it's an intentional journey towards deepening our relationship with Jesus. In this episode, I explore how to make this season meaningful—by slowing down, aligning our hearts with Christ, and preparing for the celebration of His resurrection. Let's think beyond the rules and focus on nurturing a vibrant faith. Whether through reading the Gospels, fasting, or acts of service, the goal is to seek Jesus wholeheartedly.
In John 3, Jesus tells Nicodemus that many prefer darkness over light due to fear, comfort, or pride. Yet, stepping into the light is about healing, not shame. Jesus invites us to embrace His light, knowing we are already loved. What areas of your life need this light? Reflecting on this can bring profound personal growth and a deeper connection with God.
