Welcome to We Wonder: Lent. Lent is the season between Ash Wednesday and Easter: these are the days when we slow down, make space, and pause each day to journey with Jesus toward Jerusalem, and to the cross. This Lent, we’re going to slow down and spend time in one story from Matthew’s gospel each week. We will join Jesus as he walks with his disciples to Jerusalem one last time. Along the road, we will listen to his words and imagine that we are there with him: that he is speaking directly to us. And we will pay attention, each day, to what we see, and hear, and feel. After all, every day is different; but we still need to meet and listen for God, in all that is happening to us. I wonder what we will notice, as we listen to the same words over and over, all week long? I wonder what we will have to say to God? I hope that you can listen every day, and let these words take deep root in your heart. I hope you can imagine yourself walking with Jesus and listening to him, all along the road to Jerusalem throughout this season, so that we can all join together at the end, around the foot of his cross. This week’s reading is Matthew 16:21-26. Jesus and his disciples are outside a city called Caesarea Philippi. Jesus is teaching them, and for right now, they are all alone. Can we open our minds and hearts, and imagine ourselves there?
