At the Feet of Jesus: Receiving the Mercy of Christ: A Lenten Sermon Series
(adapted from The Pastor’s Workshop)
“Lent is a 40-day season of reflection and repentance. It invites us to confront our sin with prayer and fasting. We start in ashes and begin a journey to the joyous celebration of resurrection at Easter. In a season of repentance, we confront our sin. But the practices we engage in during Lent to remind us of the need for repentance and turn again toward Christ are not how we get to Easter. Instead, we have to remember that the battle with sin is one we cannot win—not on our own.
The lesson of Lent is that we are to throw ourselves at the feet of Jesus, relying upon his tender mercy. These seven weeks we will lament with the psalmists, look to the new and greater Adam, marvel at the grace he offers, and seek to follow him in humility. Along the way, we look to Christ’s merciful work and receive it with thankful hearts. Christ’s mercy alone is what will bring us to the ‘Alleluia’ of Easter morning.”
