Happy Holy Week

Thanks be to Jesus, who entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on the way to His crucifixion on Good Friday. My mind can't help but ask, "Why?" There is only one answer. Jesus loves us.

What's up this week:
• We will walk to St. Joe's to sing in their Monday morning worship service (if it doesn't rain)!
• The 4th graders are working on a human body webquest. The groups will give their oral presentations the Wednesday after Easter.
• We will attend the FVL concert on Wednesday.


I hope to see many of my 4th grade families in worship for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.

God Bless your Holy Week. May all of our actions reflect the love that our Redeemer showers on us.

Romans 5:6-8

You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

As I sit at my desk…

As I sit at my desk on this Saturday, I can't help thinking that Satan keeps me really busy. I think he does that so that I don't have time for Jesus. But my Jesus is stronger than Satan. Jesus died that I might live. I can't say it any better than Isaiah did some 700 years before Jesus:

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

 Isaiah 53:5-6

Thank you, Jesus, that You are my Savior. Satan doesn't stand a chance against You. Keep me focused on You and on all that Your death and resurrection means for my salvation. Lead to me be grateful today for Your grace. In your holy name. Amen.
