Alive: Lent Devotionals

DAY 40 OF 47

Alive: What hope do we have then?

What hope do we have then?

Night will fall on you.

Of course it will.

You will find yourself one day

alone

wandering the desert of your failures.

You will stand by the deathbed of your dreams,

helpless and afraid.

What hope do we have then?

My friend, when the Spirit wrapped itself

in the Rabbi’s flesh, it declared 

that we are to have life in all its fullness.

Yet we have forgotten that death

is part of life, that existence grows

from decay.

We have forgotten that night

is simply an opportunity

to anticipate 

another sunrise.

About this Plan

Alive: Lent Devotionals

These Lent devotionals will take you on a journey to discover the abundant life that Jesus offers. The world is full of noise and distraction – bright lights that lead us away from the depth of life, keeping us in the shallows. The kingdom of heaven – the kingdom of life and love and joy – is closer than we think. Let us grasp it with both hands.
