JOHANNES 12:3

A life poured out. We see an example of this in Mary who anointed Jesus (John 12:1-8). In these next 5 days, let us do as Mary did and smash the alabaster jar, so we may be overcome by the fragrance of Jesus.

The final week in the life of Jesus was no ordinary week. It was a time of bittersweet goodbyes, lavish giving, cruel betrayals and prayers that shook heaven. Experience this week, from Palm Sunday to the miraculous Resurrection, as we read through the Biblical account together. We will cheer with the crowds on Jerusalem’s streets, shout in anger at Judas and the Roman soldiers, cry with the women at the Cross, and celebrate as Easter morning dawns!

Oor die afgelope 1 600 jaar, herdenk Christene regoor die wêreld die laaste dae van Jesus se lewe gedurende die "heilige week". Hierdie 8-dag leesplan sal verduidelik wat op elk van Jesus se laaste dae gebeur het en waarom dit plaasgevind het, alhoewel dikwels tragies, is dit tog uiteindelik goeie nuus. Daar sal elke dag 'n kort leesstuk uit 'n psalm, een van die Ou Testamentiese profete en 'n paar verse uit die Nuwe Testament wees. Daar sal ook 'n kort oordenking wees om jou deur daardie gedeeltes te lei om die diepsinnige van Jesus se laaste dae op aarde te besef.

Let’s slow down this Holy Week and learn from Christ’s final days on earth. Each day we will receive lessons or gifts that He took the time to give. Do you need a fresh reminder of what mattered most to Christ—that you love His people and follow Him? What could He want to teach you this Holy Week?
