ABIDING IN EASTER - LENT DEVOTIONAL by BRYAN CRAIG

DAY 10

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

Matthew 4:17 ESV

If you are a believer and follower of Jesus and you want to join Him on His journey to the Cross this Lenten season, you should know that the major theme of all of Jesus’ sermons and teachings was “Repent”. I know this may seem a "churchy" word, but it means “feel or express sincere regret or remorse about one's wrongdoing or sin.” Jesus came not only to die for us but also to show us a better way to live on this earth. He knew that as long as we lived in sin, we could not enjoy the abundant life He wants to give us. If we are living in willful sin, are we really followers of Christ?

APPLICATION:

Pray and ask Jesus if there is any sin in your life, of which you need to repent. You may know the answer before you even pray. If you want to follow Jesus this Lenten season, this is what you need to give up today.
