EASTER WEEK

 Well, Friends, it's Easter week!  Yes, my favorite holiday of the year is Easter the day we celebrate that theLord of my life arose from the grave.  And we always call the week before Easter "Easter week".  

In the past I have written daily about this "holiday" and things leading up to it.  I still encourage you to read your Bible as to the events building up to Easter Sunday.  As I have published in the archives every Easter, here is the week's readings in each of the Gospels.  I suggest reading them all.  It was my daddy's favorite holiday tradition.  He knew them practically by heart.  I don't.  :(

Jesus rides into Jerusalem.....Matt 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-40; John 12:12-19

The Last Supper with the twelve....Matt. 26:17-30; Mark 14:12-26; Luke 22:3-39; John 13

Sold out....Matt 26: 1-16;  Mark 14:1-2, 10-11:  Luke 22:1-6

In the Garden....Matthew 26:36-56; Mark14: 32-52; Luke 22:39-53; John 17, 18:1-11

Guilty?.....Matthew 26:57-75; Mark14:53-72;  Luke 22:54-71; John 18:12-27

A Dark Day....Matthew 27:1-66; Mark 15:1-47; Luke 23; John 18:28-42

The Tomb....Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; John 20

This year my posts will be different.  I hope to just share simple thoughts from my journey with Jesus.

I accepted Jesus as my Savior at age 9.  You can read that testimony in various posts on this blog.  (Revival, July 12, 2012)  I often remember as an adult hearing Gloria Gaither say, "I chose that day to go with the 'cross' crowd, and every good and beautiful thing that has happened to me since was a direct result of that choice".  Now I agree with her but I will go so far to say that everything that has happened to me since has not been good and beautiful.  There have been the hards, the pains, the griefs and so much more.  But, I will say that going through these "bad" times have been easier as Jesus was along.  I can't imagine life--which is the good, the bad, and the ugly--without HIM.  

All because He came, He lived, He suffered, He died, and He arose!  

Consider.....
