Bible Question: Just curious; what is lent? I know it is the time leading up to Jesus' resurrection, but where and why does it begin? I know it is practiced only in certin denominations, however I'm just wondering what it is all about? |
Bible Answer: Jesus' temptation reveals the way in which the Son of God is Messiah, contrary to the way Satan proposes to him and the way men wish to attribute to him. This is why Christ vanquished the Tempter for us: "For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tested as we are, yet without sinning." (Heb4:15) By the solemn forty days of Lent the Church unites herself each year to the mystery of Jesus in the desert. |
