Holy Week

The Event
 
"And they crucified him"   Mark 15:24(NIV)
    
Reflection
 
As I have been preparing for Palm Sunday and Easter messages I keep running into Grace. And then I think, “now what?”

To me this is a very good question and it is also at the heart of what it means to be “saved”.

What do you with grace? What do you do when you’ve been forgiven, no strings attached, no restitution asked for, all sin and sins, large and small, wiped clean from your record. Done, over, completed, finished. What now?

2,000 years ago on the cross, God did this for every person on the planet. That includes you.

The question then becomes, “what will I do with this?” Your answer to this question then determines the trajectory of your life both in this world and in the world to come.

Prayer

“Father, my life is fully and completely the result of your rescue mission on planet earth. I give you all the credit, please forgive all those times and all those ways in which I try to any credit. It’s all you and I’m grateful. Amen”
