Fifth Sunday

Sundays in Lent are not counted in the 40 days leading up to Easter. Instead, they are “mini-Easters.” Take time to rest, reflect and rejoice in the resurrection with great joy and celebration in your heart.

From the Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 8:

The Lord Jesus was born under the law and perfectly fulfilled it. He endured most grievous torments in his soul and most painful sufferings in his body; he was crucified, died, and was buried; he remained under the power of death, yet his body did not undergo decay; and he arose from the dead on the third day with the same body in which he had suffered. In this body he ascended into heaven, where he sits at the right hand of his Father, making intercession, and he shall return to judge men and angels at the end of the age. The Lord Jesus, by his perfect obedience and sacrifice of himself—which he through the eternal Spirit once offered up to God—has fully satisfied the justice of his Father. He purchased not only reconciliation but also an everlasting inheritance in the kingdom of heaven for all whom the Father has given to him.

And He did it all for you.
