Reflection
God seals a covenant with Abraham, promising descendants and blessing. Jesus reveals His divine identity—“Before Abraham came to be, I AM”—and some do not understand. This is a powerful revelation: Jesus is the eternal Son of the Father. Lent invites us to renew our covenant with God in Christ. Do you recognize Jesus’ greatness in your life? Do you give Him the central place He deserves?
