“Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.” (Deuteronomy 5:15 NIV)
As we make our way into the forty-day journey, it’s easy to forget where we were before it all started,
what we were like before we took our first step,
and why we began.
This Sabbath Day provides you with a moment to stop and remember the goodness and the grace of Christ.
Spend a few moments and look back over the last ten days.
Reflection
What were you like before the forty-day journey started? How were you “slaves in Egypt”?
How has Christ changed you during this journey?
What has Christ shown you about himself? How are you sharing in his sufferings and the power of his resurrection?
