Series: The Risen Christ

Are you searching for a deeper connection with God this Lent and Easter season? This devotional series is an invitation to journey through repentance, renewal, and resurrection as we follow the life, death, and triumph of Jesus Christ.

Lent is a time to reflect, to turn our hearts back to God, and to realign our lives with his kingdom. These daily devotions will guide you through the Gospels (including Isaiah, sometimes called the fifth Gospel), offering insights into Jesus’s ministry, his sacrificial love, and the hope found in his resurrection. From the call to repentance and the challenge of spiritual discipline to the celebration of Easter’s victorious message, this series meets you in each step of the season.

Every day brings an opportunity to focus on the life-transforming truths of the cross and the empty tomb. As you read, you’ll encounter the call to carry your own cross, to embrace the joy of forgiveness, and to live as Easter people—full of hope, even in life’s darkest valleys.

Whether you’ve observed Lent for years or are exploring its meaning for the first time, these devotions are designed to draw you closer to the heart of Christ. Take this journey with us as we prepare our hearts to experience the depth of his love and the power of his resurrection. Set aside time daily to reflect, pray, and anticipate the joy of Easter morning.

These devotionals are excerpted from the Lent and Easter chapters of God of My Days: Daily Devotionals Through the Christian Year. Learn more about the book and order your own copy here.
