We are entering into what is the most important weeks for Christians – a time where Christ told us to REMEMBER, a time to CONFESS, a time to reflect on GRACE and FORGIVENESS, and a time to celebrate RESURRECTION.
I have been following this reading plan for several years during this week. It is simply a chronological remembrance of Christ’s last week before the crucifixion. I share it because of the impact it has had on me. Let me know what God says to you as you read and reflect this week.
