Today is Ash Wednesday. Worship someplace if you possibly can so that you can be reminded of your mortality, hearing God's Word, "Remember that you are dust. And to dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19). But as many churches share the imposition of ashes (reminding us of our mortality), they are imposed in the shape of the cross, reminding us that, through faith in Christ, our mortality is covered in immortality.
Praise God!
