Holy Week:A WHOLE week

Today I am pondering on the immense power of Holy Week! It is a sadly unacknowledged/uncelebrated holiday. I realize that we live in a busy time. But do you you ever wonder what it is about Christmas that ignites such high emotion and excitement (besides the gifts of course) that Easter is not able to do?  As a Christian, Easter should be one of the most humbling and meaningful holidays of the whole year. I have found that as I've grown, I realize this concept more and more; I'm sure this has much to do with my ever evolving knowledge and relationship with my God.


As I prepare for my week of vacation (spring break) and realize that this is after all Holy week... I will make a point to turn my eyes towards my resurrecting Christ a bit more. It is overwhelming for me to think about what Christ did on the cross for me all those years ago. As I try to fathom the immensity of His wondrous act, I find myself feeling a sense of great thankfulness that He has already paid the price, that He has come to save the world, that He has loved... so that I may love (and boy do I have a lot to love). Praise the Lord as we prepare for our coming Savior!

"I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and BELIEVES in me shall never die..." --John 11:25-26
