“My heart says of you, ‘Seek his face.’ Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Psalm 27:8
In a world that moves quickly and demands quick answers, Lent invites us to slow down and pay attention to Jesus. This year’s journey, Beholding the Countenance of Christ, calls us to linger with Him through the passion narrative to Easter, noticing not only what He says, but how He carries Himself along the way.
From Ash Wednesday to the Cross to resurrection, we are invited to watch Jesus closely: how He turns toward the Father, sets His face toward suffering, stays near to those He loves, and endures pain with compassion. As we “fix our eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:2), we begin to see His humility, faithfulness, and love revealed through His actions, choices, and quiet obedience.
Through this exclusive series of devotionals by Canadian guest authors, we explore focusing on Jesus, noticing His faithfulness and compassion through suffering into new life.
