Lent & Easter

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts. Each daily devotion includes a portion of Scripture, a devotional, a prayer, a work of visual art or a video, a piece of music, and a poem plus brief commentaries on the artworks and artists. The Seven Last Words of Christ refers to the seven short phrases uttered by Jesus on the cross, as gathered from the four Christian gospels. This devotional project connects word, image, voice and song into daily meditations on these words.

What does a suffering experience mean to you? How would you describe it in a few words? 

For Jesus it was a journey of suffering and death on the way to resurrection. For us as believers, suffering is a journey to know Him and experience the power of His resurrection by sharing in His suffering, and thus becoming equal to Him in His death.
 
During this Lent journey, we spend 40 days with the questions that Jesus asked in the last days of his life.

Spend 40 days in Gethsemane – in the garden where Jesus pleads anxiously with His Father and enters into conversation with God.

It's through our RIDICULOUS attention to everything Jesus said and did that we discover the truth about God, and the truth about ourselves. We learn everything about God we need to know by slowing WAY down to consider WHAT Jesus actually said and did, WHO He said and did it to, and WHAT the impact of His words and actions had on people. When we let our pursuit of Jesus guide our understanding of God and His story, we are transformed by what we discover.



Paying Ridiculous Attention To Jesus

The resurrection of Jesus changes everything. It gives us hope, a fresh start, and the power to live a new life in him. As we come to the end of this Lenten journey, we’re reminded that following Jesus isn’t just about what he did, it’s about how his victory transforms our everyday lives.
