Messiness in Holy Week ~ Ryan & Nicole McCumber

Staff, April 3, 2021

"And my soul shall be joyful in the Lord: it shall rejoice in his salvation." ~Psalm 35:9

The Story of Holy Week is a story of inspiration through enduring judgement, sadness from loss, and joy from salvation. How does knowing what Jesus endured help us when we are struggling with our own personal issues today? His experiences while in the flesh are great examples for us to ponder. Depending on where you are in life, re-living these experiences through the prayer and celebration of Holy Week may touch you in many different ways. It makes me grateful that He experienced such human things during this time in a similar way we do. Meditate this week with the word and let it wash over you and comfort you that we have such an enduring, judgeless, and joyful savior that is true. Ask God to comfort you with this truth when it feels like no one is understanding your pain. Jesus promises to always be with us.

Dear God, Please bless our community as we reflect on the amazing journey of Jesus during holy week. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
