A Q&A on Lent with Bishop Chip Edgar
A Q&A on Lent with Bishop Chip Edgar
Lent is a great season for us to intentionally, consciously, remind ourselves that God is God and we are not….we are called to serve and to give of ourselves and to give of our possessions and to recognize the limits of who we are as human beings before God….. The greatest joy is in that… in being reminded that we are people living towards death and living in our limits towards death and that Easter is this radical in-breaking of God into the order of things. Lent is the order of things. Easter is the exceptional thing. My hope is that we would fully enter into Lent so that we can fully enter into the joy of Easter.
