Nothing is more reasonable and relevant than to try to understand
the cross and live in the spirit of what the cross stands for. The
cross is certainly personally relevant for each of us. Jesus said,
"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up
his cross daily and follow me." (Luke 9:24) Don't miss the miracle
of God's truth and love revealed in Christ.
Jesus taught great truths about life and faith and morality - but
not in abstractions. Instead, he told interesting stories about
everyday people like us, in ordinary settings, such as we know
-parents and their children, people at work, pray-ing, attending
weddings, going down the highway, or at a dinner party. In his
incomparable stories Jesus helps us understand how to live wisely
and well. It is those immortal stories, and their meaning for our
lives, which I ask you to consider in the next chapters, beginning
today."
Christ confronts our world today with his claims, his ideas about
life and God and humankind and the world, his principles and
propositions. Life consists of values we choose: What we choose to
do, say, support, stand up for and how we choose to live. A key to
successful living is making the right choices. Character may well
be the sum total of our choices. Some day you will ask yourself the
question: "What would I do differently if I had it to live over
again?" One of the things is to start now by making a decision to
stand for what is highest and best, the principles and truths
revealed for human life by the Divine. That, my friends, is a
magnificent decision
The season of Lent is 40 days and 6 Sundays as we prepare for the
great celebration of Easter Sunday.
