Devotions For Lent – Day 6

First Sunday in Lent

For those who observe the 40 days leading up to Easter as the season of Lent, Sundays are a time of rest and celebration within the journey. Sunday is viewed as a “little Easter.”

On this first “little Easter,” take time to read and pray over 2 Corinthians 5:19, (NLT) “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them.”

Today is a good day to reflect and give thanks for the rest and peace that is yours this day. When Jesus was buried, so were your sins. In Christ, God does not keep count of any of them any longer. Rest, not only from the routine of the weekday, but in the work and resurrection of Jesus, through whom God was reconciling the world to Himself.
