Lent is a time for fasting. Lent is when we remember how Jesus went through the desert for forty days and forty nights alone, hungry, and thirsty. Specifically the devil comes and tempts Jesus to eat, drink,
and to trust him but Jesus obviously said No! However many Christians fast fish, eggs, fats, and milky foods. They do this to remember what Jesus did so that they may become strong in the mind and pure in the
heart. This is a religious sacrifice and a sign of our commitment to God. Jesus challenges us to live the way God wants us to, even if we have to sacrifice many things for him. I am sacrificing junk food like chips, candy, and pop. What are you giving up?
Hi Lucas,
ReplyDeleteWhat I liked about your essay is that you stated your argument in the introduction and you used a quote in the conclusion. Remember tonot repeat the same things over again when your starting a new paragraph! Overall, great job!
