Lent brings to mind Christ’s sacrifice — His body broken for us.
What do we sacrifice for Him?
Psalm 51:17 (NLT)
The sacrifice you desire is a broken spirit.
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit … That is humbled under a sense of sin; has true repentance for it; is smitten, wounded, and broken with it, by the word of God in the hand of the Spirit, which is a hammer to break the rock in pieces.”
John Gill, 1697-1771
Exposition on the Old Testament
Broken to bits … by the hammer of God’s Word.
