The Joy of the Cross-ward Path
An invitation to a journey
lies at the heart of Lent – a pilgrimage to places we could not choose to go, a
journey into Christ, in Christ, and with Christ; a path that leads up to
Jerusalem to the procession of the Palms and the Passion of Holy Week, and
onward from Cross to glory.
We are invited onto a path
of joy that looks at first like sorrow – and certainly contains it – but
contains within it a larger purpose and a future with hope beyond hope.
In faith we walk with Jesus this Lent. Each week we learn
more about his invitation:
5. Jesus invites us to follow and serve – and this invitation he
extends to all who seek him.
This Lent we are looking at these themes of deep celebration – of joy found in following and
in serving, always looking to Jesus as the source of salvation and the founder
of our faith.
How will you take up this invitation? Join us on Lenten
Sundays and Wednesdays, as we explore these themes,
and seek together what it means to live in the joy of the journey on the
cross-ward way of Christ.
