New Lenten Devotional from Presbyterians Today for 2022
Lord, When Did We See You?
A Matthew 25 Lenten Experience
In 2019, the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) began inviting churches to live boldly for Jesus by becoming Matthew 25 congregations. By framing the work of the church based on the words Jesus spoke in Matthew 25:31–46 — “I was hungry, and you fed me,” “I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,” “I was sick and you cared for me,” etc. — congregations have begun strengthening their connection to one another by sharing a common mission while seeing new ways to engage within their communities.
As the Matthew 25 invitation marks its third anniversary, Presbyterians Today invites you to delve deeply into the Scripture passage that has gained so much mission momentum. This year’s devotional, “Lord, When Did We See You: A Matthew 25 Lenten Experience,” is an opportunity to pause and ponder what it means to live for Jesus. It is a time to listen again to Jesus’ words and open your heart and ask, “How can I live for you?”
Each week, readers explore one of Jesus’ six Matthew 25 “I was” statements, beginning with Ash Wednesday and the first days of Lent’s invitation to “inherit the Kingdom.” You’ll also find Scripture reflections and prayers, church spotlights, spiritual exercises and even simple Lenten recipes.
The Lenten devotional is free. Read it online, share it, download it or print it out at pcusa.org/2022lent.
