This Sunday is Palm Sunday. That is the Sunday before Easter that we remember the day that Jesus went in to Jerusalem and was celebrated by all the people around.
What seems weird is that just a few days later these same people were part of having Jesus put on the cross and killed as a criminal. Again, the cross was not meant for Jesus, yet Jesus chose to do for us what we could not do for ourselves.
John 12:13 NIV
They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!”
Make sure that you are preparing for Easter and thanking God for all He has done!
In the next few days I will be part of an Emmaus Walk, and I ask that you join me praying for each person that is on this special Walk.
There are many people I encourage you to pray for today and in the days ahead. You fill in the list where God leads you as well.
Pray for …
Your family, your neighbors, your co-workers, those who are on your mind throughout the day, Those who have lost loved ones recently, those who are sick, the people who need to be saved, those in addiction… the list goes on and on… don’t forget to pray for yourself.
Isaiah 55:6 NLT
Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.
Finally I ask that you pray for our upcoming mission trips and mission teams. We have a trip to West Virginia in late April, and then I will be in Cuba for the FCA leadership training retreat at the end of April and first of May.
James 5:16 NLT
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Easter is ahead. Let’s get ready!
