Only the Cross

“‘I don’t know where Jesus is,’ Mary said urgently. ‘I can’t find him!’
But it was alright. Jesus knew where she was. And He had found her.”

Gather the kids around and watch this one together!

… through tears,
absolutely undone by His love

Post of the Week From Around These Parts

Why Holy Week Wednesday Really Matters: How to Have a “Silent Wednesday” Instead of a Judas “Spy Wednesday”

“Let this Holy Week dismantle everything that isn’t about eternal things.

The Wednesday of Holy Week can either be “Spy Wednesday,” where our preparations for Easter betray Jesus, to buy what isn’t really worth it.

Or our Wednesday of Holy Week can be “Silent Wednesday” — where we quiet our hearts and retreat into the sacred silence and beauty of God.“

These words applicable for all our living, but especially important this week…

take a walk to the garden tomb this weekend
“He is not here. He is risen, just as He said.”
(Matthew 28:6)

Listen to the entire Scripture narrative of the arrest, suffering, crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Take time this weekend to meditate on His Word and all that He has done.

glory, glory, glory… come along with us this beautiful weekend?

All that matters during Holy Week…is just friendship with God.

To wait with Him in the Garden…
to let Him kneel & wash your wounded places…
to stay with Jesus,
to keep company with Jesus,
to keep watch with Jesus,
right to the end.

He let Himself be forsaken of the Father —
so we in our sinful brokenness,
would never, ever, ever be forsaken.

All that matters today — is staying close to Jesus…

Today, we could stop & feel the humming Peace
of something sacred in our veins, enlarging our lungs.

Even in our darkest places—
look for it, feel along for it—
there is the light of Christ’s graces.

[excerpted from our little Facebook family … come join us each day?]

That’s all for this weekend, friends.

Go slow. Be God-struck. Grant grace. Live Truth.

Give Thanks. Love well. Re – joy, re- joy, ‘re- joys’ again

Share Whatever Is Good.
