Welcome
Prelude/Time of Meditation

*Call to Worship (Responsively)
Lenten travelers, who is this Jesus that we follow?
He is the Messiah.
What kind of Messiah is Jesus?
He is the Messiah who teaches that he will lose his life and who calls us to lose our lives in order to save our lives.
How does it feel to follow a Messiah whose teachings and call are so hard and uncomfortable?
Some feel fear and anger, while others feel uncertain and anxious, and still others feel resolute and ready to follow.
Lenten travelers, we are not alone in our feelings about following Jesus as our Messiah. It is a hard road. The blessing is that we do not travel it alone.
Thanks be to God that we share this journey with Jesus and one another as we lose our lives for the sake of the gospel to save our lives through Jesus, our Messiah. Amen.
