Ash Wednesday

Luke 9:51-62

Lent begins with Ash Wednesday.

Ash Wednesday begins with confession of sin. In confessing our sin, we realize how deeply and desperately we nee a Savior. Jesus is our Savior who set his face to Jerusalem, enduring the punishment and death our sin rightfully deserves. We gathered this Ash Wednesday in sorrow and celebration as we began the Lenten season around Luke 9:51-62.

“The aim of Ash Wednesday… is threefold: to meditate on our mortality, sinfulness, and need for a savior; to renew our commitment to daily repentance in the Lenten season and in all of life; and to remember with confidence and gratitude that Christ defeated death and sin.” - The Worship Sourcebook
