Evening: Psalms 36, 39; John 18:28-38
This evening, Christians around the world begin a season of special devotion, prayer and reflection – Lent – as the days ‘lengthen’ into Spring. Light is growing, perhaps understanding too. The Gospel links Jesus’ death with his “testifying to the Truth”. Pilate asks, tantalizingly, “What is Truth?” implying Truth is unattainable. There are mysteries here, the tale of the profound shared experience of a small group of Jesus’ followers … Their experience of the life and death of their master transformed their understanding, their lives, and the world. Lent invites us to enter and, for 40 days, attend to their world-changing experience.
