Jesus takes each of His disciples as well as each of us deeper and deeper into the truths behind Him and His ministry on this earth. Some saw Christ as being John the Baptist, Elijah, or even one of the other prophets. Hopefully we have and continue to discover who Christ really is. Christ is God the Son, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity. Hopefully once we have made this discovery we continue to pursue this reality and never take it lightly. This is precisely why the sacred season of Lent is so important because through it we take up practices such as prayer, fasting, and almsgiving in order to draw close to this life giving reality. May we always desire to behold Christ for who He is by pushing away everything that keeps us from beholding this life giving reality.
