As we walk through this final week of Lent, leading to Good Friday and Easter Sunday, let's remember: that belonging is God’s idea. He calls us to belong to Him, to ourselves, and to one another.
During Passion Week, we imagine Jesus's profound belonging to God through His unwavering obedience, even amidst immense suffering. His example teaches us to trust and surrender completely, revealing His deep connection with the Father. Let's strive to emulate His obedience, embracing the gift of belonging by obeying God's will for our lives and trusting His grand purpose.
Belonging is not our invention; it's God's design for Kingdom flourishing, extending to ourselves and our neighbors.
Let's embrace the beauty of belonging this week, knowing our identity is rooted in Christ's finished work on the cross. As you embrace this Passion Week I hope you enjoy deep reflection, renewal, the joy of resurrection life, and genuine connections around your Easter Sunday dinner.
Romans 12:4-5 |Living Bible
Just as there are many parts to our bodies, so it is with Christ’s body. We are all parts of it, and it takes every one of us to make it complete, for we each have different work to do. So we belong to each other, and each needs all the others.
