Hearts Laid Bare: Ash Wednesday (Matthew 6:1-6, 16-22)
On Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, we gather around Matthew 6 and Psalm 103 to ask a question that cuts to the heart of every spiritual discipline: why do we do what we do? Jesus warns against practicing our righteousness to be seen by others—whether in giving, praying, or fasting—because those who perform for human applause have already received their reward in full. Even the imposition of ashes, visible as it is, stands apart from that kind of hypocrisy: it is not a badge of superior devotion but a corporate confession of our shared fragility and need. We are dust. And yet, as Psalm 103 reminds us, God knows our frame, remembers our weakness, and meets us not with condemnation but with steadfast love. This Lent, we are invited to audit our hearts—to give secretly, to pray privately, to fast quietly—not to earn God's favor, but to lay down our pretenses and receive what we could never manufacture: the righteousness of Christ, given freely in the great exchange.

From Dust to Resurrection: The Meaning of Ash Wednesday
Ash Wednesday marks the start of Lent, a 40-day season of repentance, fasting, and prayer leading up to Easter. Drawing on the Old Testament tradition of ashes as a symbol of sorrow and mortality, Christians are marked with a cross of ashes as a reminder of human sinfulness and the judgment of death, while also pointing to the hope of new life found in Jesus Christ. The ashes themselves are typically made from palms burned from the previous year's Palm Sunday. Though some might question whether the public display of ashes contradicts Jesus' warnings against showy religiosity in Matthew 6, the gesture is meant to be a humble sign of repentance and an invitation for others to reflect on their own spiritual lives — a meaningful public witness when done with sincerity.
