Certainly, many remarkable events took place during the Passion Week as Jesus' earthly ministry was nearing its end; including His final date with the Cross.
Because of our sinful and corrupt nature we could never hope to enter heaven by our own efforts. We needed someone to save us from sin, and to act as our mediator in front of God (John 3:16).
During this solemn, yet optimistic, time of year we must never forget the mocking, scourging, crown of thorns, pierced hands, feet, and ripped side he endured for you and I. He gave his life for ours.
We should all take a moment out of our busy lives and seriously ponder the question, "What have I given for Him?" The answer may surprise you!
And when Jesus Christ arose victoriously on that Resurrection morning, we too shared in his victory. He gave us life, new life, resurrection life.
Following Christ demands our all. We should faithfully make the commitment to always give our all to him, joyfully and willingly (Proverbs 23:26).
Prayer: All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, amen. - 1 Peter 1:3 (NLT)
Joyfully in Christ,
~Eve
