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.

  • The significance of Lent as a personal journey of faith.
  • Viewing Lent as an opportunity to deepen one's relationship with Jesus.
  • The importance of intentionality in seeking Jesus during Lent.
  • Various ways to observe Lent, including reading the Gospels and practicing fasting.
  • The relationship between faith and preparation for Easter.
  • Reflection on the conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus in John chapter three.
  • The meaning of God's love and its unconditional nature.
  • The contrast between light and darkness in relation to accepting salvation.
  • Encouragement to engage in reflective practices such as journaling and prayer.
