The Thief and the Garden
April 14, 2019 The Thief and the Garden
With prayer and fasting, this Sunday we will begin the observance of the the most significant week in human history. Holy Week includes the celebration of Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem; his last supper with his disciples; his arrest in the garden and trial; his suffering on the cross for the sins of the world; and the day known as Good Friday when Christ dies and those who trust in him receive redemption for their sins.
The week ends with Jesus in a tomb closely guarded by Roman soldiers. The only question that remains is: Can the chains of death hold Jesus back from fulfilling his promise to defeat death and rise on the third day?
I hope and pray we’ll see you on Holy Thursday and Good Friday in the VUMC sanctuary and on April 21st – Easter Sunday – when we will cry out together, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!”
Peace in Christ, Pastor Bob
Luke 23:32-43
