As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. Luke 9:51

Where is your mind right now?  Are you prepared to enter into Holy Week or are you still concerned with so many earthly things?

Yes a lot is going on right now, there is (still) political turmoil, (still) wars and rumors of wars, (still) economic upheaval, (still) people that care more about their own gain no matter who it hurts, (still) … need I go on?

We all have things going on in our lives that truly need our attention, we have personal issues that need attention as well as family, job, school, church and societal issues.  A lot is happening right now, but how much can be put aside for a moment?  Can we take that moment to face Jerusalem with Jesus as He approaches the final week of His earthly ministry? 

Throughout Lent we have traveled with Jesus and now we face the place where His journey leads, the cross.  Are you ready?

As you travel through this week, as you deal with the earthly things placed in front of you, turn your head towards Jerusalem, towards Golgotha, towards the cross.  Gain strength from the one who walked the via Dolorosa for you, the one who suffered for you.  Know that God is with you in this week and no matter what comes, walk with Jesus.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
