Lent: Darkness

March 19 marks exactly one year since California issued its “stay-at-home” order to all of its residents with the rest of the United States to follow shortly thereafter. As a result, the past year has revealed how truly depraved and dark our world has become ranging from global pandemics, civil unrest, and hate-crimes committed against BIPOC. The only thing that can truly save humanity is Jesus Christ; not “save us so that we can go to heaven.” Jesus Christ is the only one who can save us from ourselves in the HERE and NOW. Repair the brokenhearted, bring freedom to the captives, bring good news to the poor, release the prisoners, and comfort those who mourn.

Isaiah 61:1-3
