HOLY WEEK: A Time to Review, Reflect & Respond


For believers in Christ, this week is referred to as "Holy Week". Most would agree that the name is very appropriate for such a sacred time. It is a time to review the scriptures that chronicle the events that led up to the crucifixion of our Savior. It is important for each of us to understand what took place and why it was absolutely necessary. It is also a time to reflect on what that means to you personally. It is a time to meditate on His Word, allowing it to seep deeper into your heart. Then as a result of your time of review and reflection it should cause you to respond. Your response should be a sincere desire to pour out your love for Him more than ever before. Ask yourself this question, "What can I give to someone who has given so much for me?" 

The blogs that I post this week will have one purpose, to prompt you to focus on the matchless sacrifice of our Savior. Each day I will look at a different attribute or characteristic using each letter of the word SAVIOR. May you be blessed as you read the words, but moreso may you be compelled to serve Him more than you have before. Be encouraged today!
