The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ stand at the center of the Christian faith. Lent is a forty-day season of preparation and repentance, beginning on Ash Wednesday and leading to Good Friday, the day Jesus was crucified. Many Christians choose to fast during Lent, following Jesus’ example in the wilderness, though this practice is optional. Easter celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. This devotional spends two weeks after Easter Sunday, reflecting on the risen Christ.
