Alright! We have reached the first Sunday of many during this Lenten season. How should we treat it? Our churches do really well by keeping us posted on what Jesus had to do during this period of time we're remembering. They also do well to show that we refrain from too many praise songs and prayers for the season.
How about ourselves? Some people like to take Sunday as a free day during Lent: whatever happens on Sunday is forgivable. However, is this what we want? Did Jesus take a day to himself during this season? He went through temptations and never gave into them. On the other hand, we must remember what Paul says (for once, I agree with him): God does not give us a test that we can't complete (my own top of the head interpretation of 1 Corinthians 10:13). In this case, our tradition can be a way of us being able to withstand our own tests and sacrifices for God. God gives us every tool we need to get through our times, and if Sundays are the tools you need, then use them, for God created them just for you.
