1 Thessalonians 2:1-3

For Christ-followers, Easter is a season to refresh and refocus our hearts on the grace of God given to us through Jesus on the cross. The Easter season begins with Ash Wednesday, a time to confess and repent of those things that keep us from taking our next step of faith. Ash Wednesday is the beginning of Lent, a 40-day process that involves fasting, giving up something you want now for something you want that’s even better. Easter season concludes on Resurrection Sunday, the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
