What Does Penitential Mean?

Lent is known as a penitential season—but what does that really mean? In this devotion, we take a deeper look at what it means to have a truly penitent heart: recognizing our sin, understanding its seriousness, and responding with genuine sorrow. Through God’s Word, we are confronted with the reality that sin isn’t just a mistake—it’s rebellion against God. Whether it’s coveting, discontentment, or pride, we all fall short. But this message doesn’t stop with conviction—it leads us to comfort. Through Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, we see the posture God desires: humility, repentance, and a cry for mercy. The good news? God promises forgiveness to those who confess their sins. There is no sin too great for His grace. As you journey through Lent, this sermon encourages you to: Honestly examine your heart in light of God’s Word Recognize the depth and impact of your sin Turn to God in true repentance Trust fully in Jesus for forgiveness and peace Be reminded: your sin is great—but your Savior is greater. In Christ, you are forgiven, restored, and defined not by your failures, but by His grace. 🙏 “God, have mercy on me, a sinner.”
