Even though we are the ones marked with dust on Ash Wednesday, Jesus is ultimately the one who gets dirty. People often “give up” something for Lent, an exercise that reminds us in our sacrifice to be mindful of the sacrifice Jesus made for us.ĭiscipleship always starts with an encounter with Jesus. This season is typically one of discipleship – where we try to transform our dirt into something holy. Lent begins with a small marking of ashes, a little dust that confronts us with our sin, and our mortality – from dust to come and to dust we return, save for the miraculous actions of Easter day. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent, the 40 days leading to Easter, where we begin a journey towards preparing our hearts for Easter, and the world-changing miracle that celebration represents.
