Lent for Everyone: Mark Year B
A Lent lectionary resource using Tom Wright’s For Everyone Bible translation, this is the third in a three-volume series to cover the three years of the Revised Common Lectionary. For each day of Lent, there is a reading chosen from the Gospel designated for the year, plus a reflection by Tom Wright. The book has grown out of a project to encourage Lent reading in the diocese of Durham, and Matthew Year A (the second volume) was a major feature of The Big Read 2011.

Great Lent devotional to help prepare your heart for Easter. Love the kingdom focus and short prayers at the end of each devo :)

Every Lent I read a Tom Wright Lenten devotional. Each one highlights a Scripture from the Anglican Lectionary. I've read this one three times, but every time I read it, I learn something new, something that challenges me exactly where I am.
Today's devotional (the last one) reminds me that "the truth of Easter is not just that Jesus himself was raised from the dead by the power of God," but that the "same power" that raised Christ is now "unleashed into the lives of all believe in Jesus, all who follow him, so that he can continue his work--through them."
Christians, those who follow Christ, forget this. We doubt this promise, made so eloquently in Ephesians 1, and we either hesitate to share Jesus' message of "forgiveness and warning," or we try to do things all on our own.
Wright describes us as "new-creation people." The old has passed away. Our lives in Christ are new lives. We experience the resurrection when we "fill our lungs with Jesus' powerful breath . . . our minds with the truth of the resurrection." Working together, we are to continue the kingdom mission Jesus started, "bringing healing and hope, food for the hungry, and wisdom for the foolish."
I need this reminder every year. Perhaps we all do.
