Sunset, Cayucos, CA USA
What does power, love and self-control look like? In nature it might look like a beautiful sunset but what does it look like in humanity? Look at the crucifix. Read the gospel accounts of the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus. Read the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus asks us to take up our cross and follow him, to be like him, full of power, love and self-control.
For nearly two thousand years Christians have set aside six weeks of prayer, fasting and sacrifice, a time called Lent, to focus on following Jesus, taking up their cross, and become practitioners of power, love and self-control. Easter is coming. Jesus is inviting you to follow him, to be like him.
