Lenten devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries

ONLINE – Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) has released new devotions for Lent, which begins today on Ash Wednesday. The devotions are being made available online through LHM’s website in a variety of formats.

Entitled “From the Cradle to the Empty Grave,” the series is available to read online or to listen to in podcasts. The series can also be received daily through email subscription, and churches can download printable versions of the booklet to give to congregation members or to distribute as a community outreach tool.

“Just seven weeks ago we celebrated Christmas looking at the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem,” reads an introduction to the series. “But just as babies aren’t meant to stay in a cradle forever, Jesus was not meant to stay in that manger forever. We have to let Him grow up in our minds—just as He did in real life.”

“Join us in the coming weeks,” it continues, “as Jesus fulfills His destiny making His way to the cross and empty tomb.”

The first devotion, released today on Ash Wednesday, focuses on Jesus’ time in the temple as a child.

Visit LHM’s website to access the devotion series.
