Mosaic Church Of Bellingham

Lent is one of the oldest known practices of the Christian Church, having been around since at least the 2nd century. The focus has always been on penitence (which has to do with sorrow and repentance for wrong doing) and fasting, as a means of preparing ourselves to truly celebrate the feast of Easter. Lent is about making room in our lives for newness. Like our Mosaic journey in the past, making room is often the first step to being able to experience freedom. One of the most famous stories of Jesus is when he is questioned by a wealthy young leader. The writers of the Gospel, tell the story on the heals of Jesus’ interaction with children. Do you think the contrast is intended?
