Bright Sadness (Part 1)

The Orthodox tradition describes the season of Lent as a “bright sadness”. The early church Father’s saw this time as an antimony, meaning something that defies normal logic. This is a good starting place when embarking on a study of the cross of Christ. In 1 Corinthians 1:18, Paul said that “the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God”. This series is a meditative series on the cross for the season of Lent. The goal of the series is to enter into the sorrow and sufferings of Jesus as well as our own sorrow and sufferings, so that we too may also share in the crosses glory and joy. Lent is a time of deep reflection, honesty, and even suffering, but it is also bright. Join us as we walk the path of our Savior, to his cross, and all the way to his glorious resurrection come Easter.
