The Waves that Jesus Made (A Lenten Reflection)

The waves that Jesus made 2,000 years ago continue to land in the shores of at least 2 billion people in the world today. These waves are aimed at one thing - to strengthen the bond between God and man.

As you grow in faith you begin to see the significance of the Lenten Season in its fuller color. This is the season when we celebrate the divinity and Kingship of Jesus through his suffering and resurrection.

The passion of the Christ defies human logic. Fortunately, outside of technology and lifestyle, people of today have something else that the people 2,000 years didn't have - a historical perspective that affirms further the words of Jesus. You see, 2,000 years ago, Jesus made the choice to suffer and die on the cross. On the third day, Jesus rose up. Who else could create ripples of waves like that through time?
