Great morning! How are we faithing? It's a week of remembrance of our savior. This is the passion week we remember when Jesus endured whippins, crucifixion and then rose from the grave. No I don't profess to understand how he rose from the grave or even how he survived all that flogging and never broke a bone but suffice to say, I couldn't do it. He became sin even though he never sinned. His love was so big for us he gave his own skin, life and a separation from the Father so we could have a path to God. Because of the sacrifice Jesus gave on our behalf we are now able to call upon the Lord directly. No yearly visit by the priests to the holy of hollies for our sins, no blood to cover our sins, Jesus did it all. Because of this and because of what Jesus has done in my life I can only be a witness that leads others to the same savior I found. This Friday and Sunday we remember and celebrate these things. These are the things we now praise and thank the Lord for because without these things we are remembering, we would be lost forever...that would suck man...
Luk 22:17-22
Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and share it among yourselves, because I tell you, from now on I will never drink the product of the vine until the kingdom of God comes." Then he took a loaf of bread, gave thanks, broke it in pieces, and handed it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you. Keep on doing this in memory of me." He did the same with the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant sealed by my blood, which is being poured out for you. Yet look! The hand of the man who is betraying me is with me on the table! The Son of Man is going away, just as it has been determined, but how terrible it will be for that man by whom he is betrayed!"
Luk 22:70
Then they all asked, "Are you, then, the Son of God?" He answered them, "You said it, I AM."

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your mercy and love to give your son for a lot like us. Lord we do accept your gift of salvation and do remember all that your son went through. Amazing doesn't even come close to how in awe we are of you. Lord, grant us the wisdom to share this love and peace with others so they may come to you. Lord, we praise you and thank you for everything around that you made. Be with and open the eyes of our leaders that they make the decisions necessary for our country. In Jesus name, amen
