this week i have worked very hard to remember...
the expensive perfume used to annoint His feet...what a precious sacrifice and way to honor her King...
those who were scheming to arrest and hurt this One by whom they felt so threatened...
the palm branches that waved and the people who shouted praises for their King...
the water, the basin, and the towel...an example to follow
the betrayal that ended with a kiss...
the denial that ended with weeping...
the arrest, the beating. the crown of thorns, the purple robe, the cross, the blood, the sacrifice...
Lord Jesus, may we never walk through this week lightly but may we remember all that happened before the empty tomb on resurrection day. may we allow the enormity of Your sacrifice permeate every aspect of our lives this week...may we remember.
"for the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing ,but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God." ~1 corinthians 1:18
