'The heart of the Christian message is change. The Bible's word for this is repentance which is the overall theme of the Lenten Season. Sometimes instead of repenting and agreeing with God and His Word we want to silence God and His Word. This is what the people wanted to do to Jeremiah (26:8-15) and to Jesus (Luke 13:31-35). But if we are going to have the abundant life Jesus offers us, then agreeing with God and His Word is essential. We need to help each other do this as Paul talks about in Philippians 3:17-4:1. He tells us to imitate him and imitate others who follow God and His Word. We need each other to be faithful through repentance and faith."
