Lent Is A Purple House (and Nicodemus)

Jesus challenged Nicodemus (John 3:4) to be born again. He later included the part about being born of water and Spirit. Here the water becomes a stream that flows from the cross and the Spirit is symbolized by a dove descending from God. Lent gives us a chance to be born anew in the pattern of Jesus and the plan of God that is alive in us as we acknowledge and connect with it.
