The Lenten season is designed to be a season of somber reflection. We reflect on our sin against God and others through the things we’ve done and the things we have left undone. We reflect on our mortality because sin is inextricably tied to death (Genesis 2:17; Romans 6:23). But because Christianity is not a religion that ends in bad news, but instead, is a declaration of Good News, we reflect on the hope we find at the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

We have organized this devotional along with the historical relationship of God with his people as detailed in the book of Genesis. We will see staggering and heart-breaking examples of their sin and mortality and will remind ourselves that in our nature, we are no different. The historical figures we see will try to find saviors to rescue them who are not God, yet we are also looking for the hints of the Good News that God was giving to his people. There would be a Savior from God, who would trample Satan (Gen 3:15), who would weather God's wrath against sin for us (Gen 8:21), and who would reunite God and man in their proper relationship (Gen 17:7). That Savior, Jesus Christ, must come from God.
