Our Lenten Cross

This is our Lenten Cross. We made this on Ash Wednesday to mark the first day of Jesus' long walk to the cross. We used our own hand prints to make the cross since Jesus died for each one of us to live forever and because God forgives us each time we "mess up." This is the good news we share every day! Each Monday during Lent, we will add a heart to show Jesus how much his sacrifice means to us. (Remember we can't talk about Jesus going to the cross without talking about his escape from it on Easter Sunday. The hearts will remind us of the good news to come.) Since there are 40 days in Lent, we are going to see if 40 hearts will cover our cross. Watch for future posts to mark our progress.

God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
