Jesus’ Teachings Prior to Passion Week
This week marks the final week before Christ’s peak in popularity to His sudden and fatal fall. As we head into Passion week, I thought I would look at some areas that Christ emphasized entering the week. There are not enough days to touch upon everything, but there are a few things that have caught my attention in my reading these last days – forgiveness, prayer, and wealth to name a few.
While we’re talking about these days leading up to the Passion of Christ, I am reminded that we are in the middle of the Lenten season. I know some of you have chosen to give up something (e.g. indulgences) to impress upon yourself the sacrifice and cost of Christ’s suffering death. How is it going? For myself – and I’ll be very frank — it has not been that difficult, which is a sure sign that I didn’t choose to sacrifice enough in my choice! Perhaps next year I should challenge myself more.
Well, enough of that, let’s begin our look at Jesus, shall we? On to the next post…
