"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
When we take time to look at something from every angle, we often discover things we never noticed before. The story of Easter is one we return to again and again because it is the story of salvation. The story of promises kept and promises fulfilled. And yet, despite its power, this story is one we are overly familiar with. We often hear it, but don't listen. We look at the cross and tomb, but don't see them. We know it with our minds, but maybe it doesn't reach our hearts, our bones, our souls. We miss the weight, the significance, the depth. Many know the story and it is this knowing, this familiarity, that robs us of its wonder and glory and sorrow and joy.
On the week that Jesus was to be crucified, He rode into the city of Jerusalem on a donkey as the King of Glory. On Good Friday, we remember the sacrifice and redemption that was bought by Jesus as the Lamb. And on Easter, we celebrate the victory of Jesus as the Savior of the world.
Each day this week, we will be sharing podcast episode (featuring voices from our church family!), along with a simple devotional.
These both follow along with our Prayer Room Stations and are designed to help you slow down, reflect, and spend time with God.
