It is natural for the human beings God has made to pursue a healthy sense of self. We want to know who we are. We want to be confident of the basis of our value. Unfortunately, our fallen nature and the fallen world point us in the wrong direction in that pursuit. Lent's call to self-denial and repentance has prepared us for Easter. Christ’s empty tomb is proof that an identity buried with Jesus far surpasses any identity we could hope to discover within ourselves.
