Lent is nearing its end. On Palm Sunday we begin what is called Holy Week. During Lent we have reflected on both Jesus' journey to the Cross and our journey from the Cross. He died so that we might live.
Abundantly and eternally.
Now that Christ has ended our separation from God by His death on the Cross, how will we choose to live?
To answer that question, we end Lent with Holy Week. Before we emerge with Christ from the Empty Tomb, we consider one more time what is called The Passion of the Christ. Oswald Chambers has written: "The Cross is the point where God and sinful man merge with a crash and the way of life is opened--but the crash is on the heart of God."
I invite you to join us in this Countdown to the Cross. Each day during Holy Week you can find this devotional by going to the church website (www.coglandisville.org) and clicking on the link for Dr. Steve's devotional. Or you can use the pink cards today to subscribe by email. Or on the website you can sign on as a follower. Whatever works for you, but we invite you to join us reflectively and prayerfully as we count down to the Cross by revisiting the events of that week we call holy because of the work done by a Holy God.
