Lent is not a pleasant season. Lent is set aside in the midst of the church calendar as a time for soul searching, inviting reflection, repentance, and reconciliation. As we recognize the mag-nitude of the crucifixion and the resurrection of Jesus, it is valuable to examine our own lives as disciples of Jesus. Has your encounter with the living Jesus, who died for your salvation, made an impact on your life? Do you live differently because of Jesus? As we continue our Lenten series, we will look at the Apostle Paul — a man whose self-righteousness and zeal motivated him to persecute early Christians. That is, until Jesus got a hold of him and put him on a wildly different path.
