Stay in God's Word every day during Lent with The Crucified King: Daily Devotions. Lent is a penitential season during which God’s baptized people celebrate their Baptism through repentance and faith in the King—Jesus Christ. He was willing to be despised and dishonored so that we might be considered great in God’s kingdom. He was willing to have His head pierced with sharp thorns so that we might be eternally crowned with glory. He was willing to be devoured by the jaws of eternal death and rise again so that we might joyfully eat His body and drink His blood for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. This crucified King is God’s greatness in the flesh—the ultimate conqueror who is truly God’s lion-hearted One.
