As we head toward Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday we contemplate what Jesus was doing as they made their way toward Jerusalem. We find three biblical accounts that reinforce the idea that Forgiveness produces persistent faith that holds even in the face of death. Luke 19 redemption of a tax collector, Luke 18 the persistent woman, and John 11 Lazarus comes back to life. We hope this message encourages you to surrender your life and follow Jesus with everything.
