Lent Thoughts: Penance or Repentance?

Lent Thoughts: Penance or Repentance?

Mar 05, 2023

Passage: Luke 15:17-24

Preacher: Pastor Aldo Baños

Series: Church Function

Summary:

During this season of lent, I began thinking more about repentance. I was talking with Bishop and we were talking about repentance versus penance. I became curious and decided to do some digging. Most of us have learned that repentance has to do with turning away. In the context of Christianity, it has to do with turning away from sin and turning toward God. Penance is the act of voluntarily punishing yourself as an outward sign of repentance for having done wrong. I began to ask myself, should I punish myself to show how repentant I am? Is penance just the next step in showing how sorry I am for my sin? Is that what I should do?
