Let the truth of Jesus's sacrifice and new life fill you this Easter! Spend 40 DAYS journeying through 40 WORDS and draw closer to God in heart, soul, and mind. From terms found in the Gospels-- repent , palm , cross --to expressions related to traditional Christian practices-- Maundy , ashes , abstain --these words will guide you to a deeper appreciation for our Savior's death and resurrection. Each day will bring you to Scripture with a devotional reading and a reflection question, prayer prompt, or exercise that will reveal the realities of redemption and the fullness of what it means. Be inspired to richer love, greater devotion, and more abundant praise this Easter season.
