Today is Palm Sunday and marks the beginning of Holy Week -- the observance of the week (and all its events) leading up to the crucifixion and resurrection of the Lord Jesus. It is a celebration that has been observed for the bulk of church history and is typically marked by a lot of special attention and reflection. I know what a lot of you may be thinking: "Don't we celebrate those things all year round? Shouldn't we be doing that already?" Well, if you tell me that you take copious amounts of time to reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus all of the other 51 weeks of the year, then let me be blunt -- you're probably lying. I love you, but it's the truth. We all need a kick in the pants now and then (or all the time) and participating in Holy Week -- by consistently and intentionally focusing on Jesus -- is a good way to accomplish that task.
So... I'm going to post a blog EVERY DAY of Holy Week in order to help us reflect on Christ together. Each blog will include some insights and some personal action steps for you to take on your own. Please come back EVERY DAY this week and consider Jesus with me.
