He Chose the Nails: He Chose to be One of Us

In this first session of our Lenten study, we explore incredible love. Rather than focusing on Lent as a season of having to give something up, we consider it as a time to be intentional about preparing to receive joy and good things from God. One of the gifts of Easter is the *crown of thorns.* God transformed it from a mock crown of pain and shame to a true crown of victory and glory.
