SUPPORTING SCRIPTURE
John 1:4–5 As we explore how to observe Lent, we’ve decided to get creative with devotional songs—because who doesn’t like to connect with God through music? Spruce up your Lent journey by tuning into the audience song recommendation below and then listen along to some good Christian music!
Journey Through Lent, Day 36
This far into our journey through Lent, we’ve seen countless examples of how the world is broken.
Having focused on this brokenness for thirty-five days in a row, it can start wearing on us! And it can be hard to be able to see the good that is coming in the future.
Well, we found a song that helps us both reflect on the brokenness, but also directs our eyes toward what’s coming at Easter!
Specifically, listen for these words that have so encouraged us… “And now Your victory song’s raised, it’s echoing age to age, that through darkness, there came a light.” Just a few more days of darkness, friends, the light is coming!
Scripture
“In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:4–5).
Reflect
Where do you most feel the “darkness” of the world? Where is it most clear to you that things are not as they should be? Bring those to God in the comments or in a journal, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you see how the death and resurrection of Jesus brings light into that darkness.
