Passion Week

Today is Palm Sunday, which begins Passion (or Holy) Week. It takes us into Resurrection Sunday, also known as Easter. Several events occurred in this historic week, but I am mostly in awe of the fact that this was the week that Christ truly exhibited His passion for man, giving His life for our sins. For those of that time, it was a week of preparation, expectations, and realizations. Today it is a week of prayer, explanations, and revelations...

If you haven't been consistent in your relationship with Christ, allow this week to be your week of Passion for Him. Be passionate with your worship, proclaiming His gospel to anyone who will receive it. My heart is full today and there's a feeling of expectancy within my life. More recently my heart had been heavy during this period of lent and I've spent some sleepless nights with a weeping heart...for what or who, I still do not know...

Prepare yourself this week like at a fighting match. Jesus is the boxer, and He gave us so many HOT moves in the ring against his opponent satan. He used that mighty left hook and jab. He gave the upper cut and combination move. He finished it off with a knock out. Each of those moves mentioned closely tie to scriptural passages we hide in our hearts and use each time we enter our own boxing matches, our obstacles in life.

"For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:36-39)
