·The road to the cross was a struggle. This Lenten season, we see Jesus rejected by his people and betrayed by his disciple. The struggle was real. The Christian life is a struggle too. Faith in Christ doesn’t make us exempt from difficulties. But faith in Christ does give us strength to press on. The weekends this Lenten season, we will meditate on the words of the Psalm writers, who put the struggle of the believer into poetry and prayer. Their God is our God. This is a Savior who entered our struggle to win the victory over the struggle, to equip us for our struggle. The struggle is real. The struggle is good.
