Holy Week

Here we are!!!!

It's the Super Bowl week for Christianity where we celebrate our Risen Savior.

This week always gets me pumped up about who we are in Christ. It used to be those little chocolate bunnies and yellow peeps. It is still cool to bite into one of those marshmallow wonders covered with pink or yellow sugar. Okay, maybe not for everyone? I always play out in my head, what was Jesus doing on this day before His death? We know about Thursday night in the upper room and His last supper with his disciples.

But what about Tuesday and Wednesday. He knew of His death coming on Friday, yet He was still preaching and praying in the whole area of Jerusalem just like any other day. What if it were you and you knew of your coming death on Friday. What would you be doing today and tomorrow? I know what I would be doing, I would be freaking out like a little kid caught in a tornado. I would probably go into hiding and thinking I could hide from my impending doom.  Not Jesus, no He kept the course because His destiny for the cross and tomb were already set and He knew it. His love for us is so great, He had to get every chance He could get to tell His story before Friday. How many days until your Friday? I'm 50-something-upper-ish and I am starting to understand that my Friday will probably be in the next 25 years. 25 years is a long way off but somedays feels like it may be 2-3 days to get to that 25ish years. I do know this........ that when that day comes, I will rise up to Heaven with Jesus. Jesus rose from the grave and He came back to tell us, " I will be waiting for you. I will prepare a place and I will love you unconditionally." Is there someone you need to tell about Jesus before Friday....... before your Friday?
Towards the end Matthew 28, Jesus tells us to go into the neighborhoods, cities, states and nations and proclaim His name. Amen?
 We have exciting things happening with Bring The Hope this year. Jimmy is setting up a program for BTH for online giving and we will have our own app for downloading to get our info out about BTH Church. We hope to have a website set up and ready to go also. There is more to this program and website development it goes way above my head. Thank Jimmy the next time you see him for doing this. Invite someone to church this Sunday for Easter. It may just save their eternal life.  Just remember.................

Friday is coming upon us! BUT SUNDAY IS COMING!!!!!!
He Is Risen!!!!
God Bless You All
