The Holiest of Weeks

     The holiest of weeks is upon us. Reminding ourselves of Christ’s last week on earth brings us back to our knees in awe. The plan of redemption, in the fullness of time, came to save us. It played out that week over 2,000 years ago. It was the week of the life that transformed the world, one soul at a time. The hundreds of prophecies from the Book of Genesis to our time were fulfilled in Him.

     As Jesus rode the donkey into Jerusalem, the faithful Jews were bringing their unblemished lambs into the city for the annual sacrifice. The lambs were to be inspected over the next few days to make sure they were clean and pure, the symbol of sacrifice for sins. Jesus, too, would be scrutinized and examined until Pontius Pilate would tell everyone, he could find no fault in Him.

     Jesus was the perfect Lamb of God, the final fulfillment, the finished work. The perfect man, the only man, the God-man who could remove sin from the world through His death and resurrection. Shout Hosanna to Him today as you get ready for this holiest of weeks in history.

They took palm branches and went out to meet Him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the King of Israel!” John 12:13

     Blessed is our Savior. Hosanna!

Jesus,

Holy Week brings us to our knees, again, as we walk with You through each day. From the last supper, to the agony of Gethsemane, to the brutal death on the cross to the raising of Your body. We praise and worship You.

Amen
