The cross is everywhere, a symbol worn by people from all walks of life. But its history means more than mere jewelry. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, it wasn't about glory but suffering and shame. The cross was once a tool for torturing criminals; now, it represents Christ's sacrifice for humanity's sins. Christ's journey to the cross was marked by betrayal, trial, and brutal humiliation. Despite his innocence, he endured mockery, beatings, and the agony of crucifixion. Jesus bore the weight of the world's transgressions, willingly embracing the cross for mankind's redemption.
Jesus gave all for you and me. The crucifixion is a reminder of God's love for humanity. God loved us so much that while we were yet sinners, He gave His son to die upon the cross for us. Jesus freely gave his life for our sins so that we can have eternal life. He didn’t deserve to die, yet He took our place on the cross. Jesus gave everything for us.

In Jesus's triumphant entry into Jerusalem, Luke recounts the Last Supper, a pivotal moment before Jesus's crucifixion. As the perfect sacrificial lamb, Jesus embodied redemption, something that his disciples struggled to comprehend. His act of washing their feet demonstrated humility and servant leadership, challenging them to follow suit.

Jesus's final message emphasized not missing the mission. His death and resurrection empowered believers to embrace servant leadership and fulfill their purpose. The Last Supper teaches valuable lessons about humility and purpose, urging us to align our lives with Jesus's example of love and sacrifice.

In the Triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem, all kinds of people were present: the foes, the fans, and the followers of Jesus. Luke 19 shows us this momentous occasion, where Jesus humbly rode into Jerusalem amidst a crowd filled with anticipation and different reactions to Him.

In this moment, amidst the cheers and excitement, we see the stark contrast between the foes, fans, and followers of Jesus. The foes, represented by the hardened hearts of some in the crowd, opposed him despite witnessing his miracles.. Fans reveled in the spectacle, loving the signs and wonders but lacking true devotion. Yet, genuine followers stood apart, knowing Jesus intimately and willing to follow him regardless of the cost. Reflecting on this, we're prompted to examine our own hearts: Are we merely observers, caught up in excitement but lacking commitment, or are we true followers, surrendered to Jesus' will? As Easter approaches, let's draw closer to Jesus, seeking a deep, relationship beyond fleeting emotions, knowing He willingly laid down His life for us.

Life begins with hope and promise, every marriage with love and a vision. Yet, circumstances often derail our plans, leading to loss and sorrow. In these moments of grief, it feels like we'll never rise from the hurt. But the reality is, loss is affects everyone; none are exempt from it. We all face the departure of loved ones, something we will always feel.

Our ultimate hope lies in Jesus Christ, as exemplified in the story of Naomi from Ruth. Despite facing famine, death, and displacement, Naomi clung to hope. She experienced deep sorrow but found comfort in her faith. Likewise, Jesus offers us peace amidst turmoil, breaking the chains of death through His sacrifice.

Naomi's journey shows the significance of companionship. God will place individuals in our lives to provide support during times of grief, offering comfort even in solitude. We're reminded that God's work exceeds our comprehension, urging us to persevere in belief. Society seeks additional companions like Ruth, who willingly support those in mourning. Through simple gestures such as a visit or a kind word, we can provide comfort amidst life's challenges, finding strength in the assurance that God remains nearby, prepared to restore and console the brokenhearted.

There is nothing worse than knowing in your heart that you have done something wrong, thinking that you got away with it, but still feeling guilty. David, a man after God's own heart, fell into temptation, leading to a chain of events that rocked his entire life. David tried hiding what he did, but the truth is, you can never hide from God.

As we experience life's challenges, let us confront our hidden sins, knowing that God's mercy awaits those who humble themselves before Him. Remember, you can never hide from God, but in His love, there is always a path to redemption.

In sports, every player has a unique assignment critical to the team's success. Whether it's football, basketball, or baseball, understanding your role is essential for victory. Similarly, in life, each of us is on assignment from God, with a specific purpose and place in His plans. This was shown in the life of David, the king, who led with purpose. But like David, all of our decisions have consequences.

David's decision led to temptation and failure, showing us how straying from God's assignment can compromise us. There is a need to remain vigilant against temptation. Staying on God's assignment is crucial; leaning on Jesus helps us navigate challenges with integrity. Reflecting on David's journey urges us to recommit to God's assignment, trusting Him to guide us through life's trials and triumphs.

Have you ever eaten a two-day old donut? As the days pass, the donuts dry up and become so stale nothing can revive them. Donuts are fragile and perishable. Donuts have a very limited shelf life.

In marriage, many unions resemble stale donuts, seemingly beyond revival. Yet, there's hope. If we yield to God, He can restore, revive, and renew our relationships. Like the foundational principle in Peter's teachings, allowing God to build our homes ensures resilience against life's struggles.Marriage isn't about perfect packaging; it's navigating life's messy moments together. While our culture may push for idealized versions of love, true strength lies in embracing imperfections and allowing God to shape us.

Change starts with ourselves. We can't alter our partners, but we can transform ourselves through God's guidance. As Peter urged, husbands and wives must understand and honor each other, recognizing their unique roles in marriage.

Lastly, listening and understanding are paramount. Our spouses deserve our attention and empathy, even amidst differences. By prioritizing communication and mutual respect, we honor God's design for marriage, fostering lasting joy and fulfillment.

Hannah, a lesser-known person in the Bible, shows the power of waiting, asking, and trusting in God for new beginnings. Despite her inability to have kids, she persevered in faith, enduring ridicule from others like Peninnah. Hannah's story teaches us to trust in God's timing, even when faced with challenges.
Through her unwavering faith, Hannah had a son, Samuel, showing the fulfillment that comes from keeping promises to God. Her journey to motherhood highlights the potential for new beginnings in our own lives when anchored in trust and obedience to God's plan. In our seasons of waiting and uncertainty, may we find inspiration in Hannah's example to persevere and trust in God's faithfulness for our own breakthroughs.

Ever been caught off guard, like someone who missed their wakeup call? God's wakeup calls are always on time. Just like Nebuchadnezzar in Daniel 4, who had it all but lacked humility. Sound familiar? Many today go through life, blind to God's presence. But God shakes up the proud, offering new beginnings. Daniel, urged Nebuchadnezzar to repent. Despite rejection, Daniel persisted, showing God's mercy. After his very own wakeup call, Nebuchadnezzar found redemption, a testament to God's love for the unlovable. So, when life throws you off, embrace God's wakeup calls—they lead to restoration and joy.

Imagine your ideal place—perhaps a peaceful beach or a mountain resort. Life, however, often throws us off our expected paths, leading to low points and unmet expectations. Yet, in John 8:3-11, we discover a truth—new beginnings can come from the lowest places.Life's twists are shaped by various factors, some within our control and others beyond. If you're at a low point, Jesus offers hope. In the story of the adulterous woman, Jesus provided a chance for renewal.

Life's lows can birth remarkable transformations. The woman in John 8 faced shame and death, but Jesus turned her lowest moment into a new beginning. Just as He advocated for her, Jesus is ready to be our advocate, offering redemption.

The essence here is letting Jesus take control. Surrender worries, cares, strengths, and weaknesses to God. God turns our lowest points into new beginnings. Whether your current place is perfect, prosperous, troubling, questioning, or the lowest, turn it over to Jesus. He's the catalyst for transformation.
