Today is a double holiday. It’s Valentine’s Day. It’s also Ash Wednesday. Due to Covid, I wasn’t able to attend an Ash Wednesday service at church. However, I was able to spend time with people that I love. It’s fitting that Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day are the same day. Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate love and honor loved ones. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Lent is the season in the Christian church which begins with Ash Wednesday and ends with Easter Sunday. I can’t think of any act of love greater than Jesus dying on the cross for the sins of all who believe in Him.
”Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.“
John 15:13 NIV
