A Walk Through Holy Week!

Christians in the Gritty

Christians. Sisters. Best Friends.
In this episode Christina and Melissia will take you through each day of Holy Week. They share some scripture and discuss it. Holy week is the week leading up to Easter, Resurrection Sunday. There were misconceptions from many of the early Jews that Jesus would come as a military leader. Wanting to be delivered from their oppressors, many of the people were thinking of their "now" needs instead of the needs of their soul. Jesus was about to give them the perfect sacrifice in himself, and they couldn't see past their physical needs. The week of Jesus' death and resurrection is full of drama and wonders. Betrail, guilt, blood money, torture, forsakenness, hate, disbelief, darkness, earthquakes and death are some of the dramas that fill the week. BUT then LIFE, hope, belief, the savior, the perfect sacrifice, work finished, prophecies fulfilled, love conquers, and He is Risen! When Jesus was dying on the cross the world went dark, the sun forbear to shine! When it was finished, the sacrifice was complete, the veil was torn. We no longer have that veil division from God and the Holy Spirit can live in us! Praise God!

”The angel told the women, “Don’t be afraid, because I know you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has risen from the dead and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; you will see him there.’ Listen, I have told you.”
Matthew 28:16-20 CSB
”The eleven disciples traveled to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshiped, but some doubted. Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”“
