This is a very important week for many people as we remember the Passion of Jesus Christ. It is a very reflective time for me personally, as I contemplate the intensity of the most significant days of my King.
Historically, the week started with His triumphal entry, His followers hailed Him as King. He cleaned out the Temple, His Father’s House; He had his last meal with the 12 and asked them to remember Him whenever they broke bread; He agonized in prayer before His Father, sweating drops of Blood; He was betrayed with a kiss (what were you thinking Judas?); He was beaten beyond belief, deserted by His followers; He offered up no defense, Pilot washed his hands from responsibility; He endured the cross unto Death, while asking His Father to forgive them, because they did not understand; He was raised form the Dead, ‘Why do you look for the living amongst the dead?’.
Take time to contemplate the importance of the week my friends. It was a week that changed Heaven and Earth.
