In Mark 8, Jesus said: “The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and after three days rise again.”
Dying and rising are at the heart of our Lenten journey. Yet this truth is mysterious and hard to grasp. How do you notice this truth in your faith? Are there times when you’ve gained a new perspective on this?
Jesus knew he was going to face suffering and rejection, yet did so in order to share life with us. What does that life mean to you today? How can we grow in awareness of this life?
