Not Lent but Given: The Here I AMSample
“Savior Unseen”
Thousands of years ago, a magnificently common, tadpole-shaped being filled the inner, unseen darkness of a frightened girl. Implanted deep inside her less-than-likely space, a living host named Jesus brought life into a land which lent no room. Yet well before the moment, God perfectly formed this girl’s body to embody His own. Mary was born in the image of the child she was to bear. And for as hidden as was Mary’s shape then, more unfathomed was our Savior’s.
When Mary first heard word of Him, her song of thanksgiving proved God’s order. “Treasuring up” emptied Mary out, and at once Christ had room to come down. Only while Mary’s blood vessels coursed with living revelation, the world searched its riches to reveal Him.
It was lost, until she bled.

About this Plan
Jesus wasn’t lent. He was given. Which means, Here is why Easter doesn’t begin with Good Friday, but Bethlehem. Here is why Jesus is not conditioned by the rules you keep, but you are positioned by those He kept perfectly. Here is why death is forever defeated and you can walk the pages of God’s Word with washed feet. Here is why you are rising, even now as you read, and resurrection doesn’t culminate on Sundays. Here is Christ. Jesus is the Here I AM.
