As we enter the Lenten season, we are invited to pause and reflect on the profound significance of why Jesus came, why He died, and why He rose again. This sacred time encourages us to meditate on the journey of Christ and its transformative impact on our lives.
Jesus, the only begotten Son of Jehovah, left His divine nature to take on human form. By becoming fully human, He experienced everything we face in our own lives—pain, temptation, and suffering—demonstrating that we too can live as triumphant beings. His incarnation wasn’t just about identifying with us but also about showing us the way to victory through faith.
In this season of reflection, let us contemplate Jesus walking through His deepest pains, the bitterness, the sorrow, and the tears. He bore our burdens on the cross, so that we might be set free from the weight of sin and death. This is a time for us to acknowledge that He did not come for His own benefit but for ours. The Scriptures reveal that Jesus even asked God to let the cup pass from Him, yet He chose to endure it for our sake.
Imagine the depth of God’s love, as He watched His Son make this agonizing plea, but chose not to intervene. In that moment, the enemy believed he had triumphed. The devil thought that by taking Jesus away from the world, the spread of the Gospel would cease. But if only he knew, this moment marked the beginning of the dispensation of grace—the unmerited favor that continues to sustain us today.
The death and resurrection of Jesus are central to our Christian faith. They symbolize our victory over death, sickness, pain, and failure. Jesus took all of these upon Himself and nailed them to the cross, ensuring that we could experience freedom and restoration. This season also calls us to stand firm in our faith, rejecting the schemes of the enemy and declaring that his plans will not take root in our lives or in the lives of our loved ones.
Jesus, the second Adam, triumphed over death and secured our victory. If only the enemy had known that the plan wasn’t merely about Jesus’ death but about something far greater—the resurrection that would bring new life to us all. Through Christ’s triumph, God not only received His Son back but also claimed us as His own.
As we reflect on these profound truths, let us take time to examine our own faith. Are we standing firm in Christ’s victory? Are we truly part of God’s army, called to advance His Kingdom and live out the power of His resurrection?
This is a season to reflect, to renew our commitment, and to stay revived in the knowledge that we are more than conquerors through Christ who loves us.
Stay revived in His grace and continue walking in victory.
