Lenten Devotional 2016
Welcome to River Of Life Assemblies Int’l's Lenten Devotional 2016. Join us as we embark on a transformative journey through this sacred season. In this comprehensive devotional, we aim to provide you with a deep understanding of the significance and meaning behind Lent. Through insightful reflections, inspiring stories, and thought-provoking lessons, we invite you to explore the richness of this spiritual practice.
What is Lent?
Lent is a solemn religious observance that lasts for approximately forty days, starting on Ash Wednesday and ending on Good Friday, just before Easter Sunday. It is a time of introspection, repentance, and preparation for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. During this period, believers often engage in fasting, prayer, and various acts of self-discipline to reflect on their faith and draw closer to God.
The Significance of Lent
Lent holds great importance for Christians worldwide. It is a time of reflection, self-examination, and spiritual growth. Through the practices of fasting and self-denial, believers emulate Christ's sacrifice and learn to overcome their own temptations. The forty-day duration represents the time Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, facing trials and temptations before beginning His public ministry.
