Lent spans the forty days leading up to Easter. It’s an excellent opportunity for spiritual searching and growth. Why forty days? It echoes the forty days Jesus spent tempted by Satan in the wilderness. But that’s just one of many biblical texts connected to the number forty which this series explores. This isn’t about uncovering hidden codes or secret messages found in biblical numbers. It’s the substance of these passages that can help us cultivate a robust experience of Lent, inspiring us to develop our own rhythms of spiritual seeking and renewal.
