Christians throughout the world observe the forty-day season of
Lent from Ash Wednesday to Easter as a time of spiritual reading,
meditation, prayer, fasting, and renewal. Just as Moses received
the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai while fasting for forty days,
and Jesus likewise fasted for forty days in the wilderness before
beginning his public ministry, so also Christians continue this
spiritual discipline today. Since Sunday-the Lord's Day-is a day of
rest, worship, joy, and feasting, the six Sundays during Lent are
not counted in the forty days.
The four gospels-Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John-are the primary
sources for discovery and meditation on the life and teaching of
Jesus. Good News for Today takes the reader on a spiritual
pilgrimage through the gospels without the duplications in their
accounts. If you read the gospel lesson suggested for each day, you
will read the complete gospel story, as it unfolds from the baptism
of Jesus to his passion, death, and resurrection. You are invited
to begin this spiritual ascent with Jesus Christ.
