This week is Holy Week and comes with it a time of great reflection and anticipation of Easter. This year may the words of Christ on the cross hep guide you into the sweet moments of prayer. May you grow as you let these words of Jesus our Lord live, grow and bear fruit in your life.

Sunday-John 19.25-27: As you hear these words, what comes to mind? What strikes you as important and necessary for you to hear? Jesus on the cross was not focused on his pain but was willing and able to provide for others pain.

Monday-John 19.28-29: Jesus fully God and fully man shows us the power of being obedient in all ways. A simple request, but at times we too must admit we are thirsty.

Tuesday-Matthew 27.45-46: Let these words resonate and ring in your head, heart and soul. We cannot adequately describe what Jesus is going through, on our behalf, but in His pain He quoted scripture; Psalm 22.

Wednesday-Luke 23.32-34: The words of forgiveness offered to those who killed him. The words of forgiveness offered to anyone who would receive them. Where do you need to receive and give forgiveness?

Thursday-Luke 23.40-43: One man realized Jesus was no ordinary criminal. By God’s grace he realized Jesus did not deserve the fate he did. Yet, hear these words of promise. The promise is for you as well in Christ.

Friday-Luke 23.44-46: Who do you commit your spirit to? Who has final authority on your life? May all of us follow the way of Jesus and commit ourselves to the Father of all.

Saturday-John 19.30: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to be with you in church.
