This Lent, allow Jesus to explain what Holy Week was like.

The most holy time of the year is
almost upon us—the time we remember what our Lord went through for our
salvation—how he overcame death to ensure everlasting life. We hold true to our
faith … that Jesus was crucified for our sins and rose from the dead. Many of
us have held strongly to these beliefs for so long, we almost take them for
granted. Over the years, we have grown so accustomed to these Gospel accounts, they
sometimes lose their full impact on us. Their significance slips. The stories no
longer seize our hearts like they once did. 

And that’s a shame.

So how might we reinvigorate our emotion
(and devotion) toward Jesus’ death and resurrection? How can we gaze upon these
most pivotal events with new eyes?

Perhaps we can contemplate them through
HIS eyes! If we reflect a little each
day about Holy Week from our Holy
Savior’s point of view, we may gain a new perspective. We may experience a
deeper retelling. If we allow Jesus to describe in detail his own grueling steps
to Calvary, maybe our passion for Christ’s passion will be rekindled … perhaps
his walk from the grave will feel like our walk too.
