It is this God of the gospel who came to that barren, hopeless couple Abraham and Sara, in their old age, and gave them a child, an heir, and opened a future for them. And since then, the God of the gospel has been giving people futures when they thought there was no possibility of newness.

Lent is about noticing our blindness and seeing differently. I invite you, during this Lent, to see differently, maybe even for the first time. To see past your anxiety, your greed, your fear, your control. See yourself as the sheep of this Good Shepherd, as the traveler in God’s good valley, as the citizen at home in God’s good house.

Jesus is an invitation and a chance and a summons to a different way of life. And we are always deciding.
