Holy Week
The two greatest events in human history are known as Christmas and Easter. The Old Testament told that God would send a Savior to this world. He even told us that Messiah would come from Bethlehem. The Gospel of Luke provides us with the testimony of the birth of Christ. The Old Testament is also the source of information regarding the fate of the Messiah. Isaiah 53 gives a wealth of information regarding Christ including the facts that He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. All four gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) give the details of Christ’s arrest, illegal trial, crucifixion, death, burial and resurrection.
Yesterday was Palm Sunday, the day Christ entered Jerusalem for the last time, knowing what was about to take place. During the course of the week He would cleanse the temple, teach the people, have the Last Supper with the apostles, be arrested, put of trial, crucified, and rise from the grave. Christmas and Easter are locked together as one is meaningless without the other.
Sunday April 20, is resurrection Sunday. It is the time of celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and fulfillment of prophecy. Take time to celebrate this occasion in the church of your choice.
Monday’s Music Moves Me
I am going to celebrate this week with a few songs that proclaim the miracle of the resurrection of Christ and the truth that He alone is the Savior of the world. In the book of John, Christ declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through me.” The gift of eternal life is free, but there is only one path to Paradise. Victory in Jesus is available to everyone.

Amen, you can’t have one without the other! Christmas is wonderful but Easter is beautiful. What Jesus did on the cross can never be repaid by one, a thousand, or the entire world population. His love for us is amazing! Thank you for the lovely music remembrance and praise for His grace toward man. Victory in Jesus is one of my favorite old-time hymns. Have a blessed week, my friend!
