Message [Brett]: Times and seasons, beginnings and endings - we experience these measures again and again. And another Lent begins, some of us marking the season, and some of us letting it pass over us without much notice. But all of us have experienced waiting. And all of us have experienced “appointed times” - such as a birth in the family, a birth that would be tragic, if rushed, but a birth that is lovely when its rightful time arrives. What do we await during Lent? What do we await as we move through life? Is 62:2 promises that we will receive a new name determined by the Lord - a new name, which implies a new identity, a new or renewed future. May each one of us discover the “amazing grace” of our new name, the newness God intends for each of us as we prepare to celebrate Easter, once again.
