ECBC's own Reverend Rusbuldt has created a new year's Lenten devotion that will take you along with Jesus and his followers on a 46 journey in both Scripture and reflections to the cross and beyond. For those new to the journey and to the faith, you will learn about Jesus. For those of you who have been on this journey before, you will discover what new things I can learn about Jesus this year. All will discover that we mere mortals can never know all there is to know about our Savior.
Rev. Rusbuldt explains the journey, "Some of our journey will find us listening to Jesus' teachings to his followers as he prepares to die. Some of the journey will deal with preparations for his death. And of course, the latter part of the journey will deal with his death. You probably won't agree with everything contained herein -- and that's quite alright. After all, we're friends of Jesus, traveling together! You may not like some of the suggestions -- if not, skip them. Perhaps you will miss a day here and there; that's OK too. Each day's journey stands pretty much by itself, and can be missed, or picked up at a later date. We will meet both good and evil people, consider wisdom from "above," ponder the humanity and divinity of Jesus, shudder at the suffering and brutality he endured, confront the "why" questions again and again, pray daily -- and even more. But over-riding our whole journey will be on universal truth:
