युहन्‍ना 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!

أصدقاء العريس هم الذين يعيشون في علاقة حميمة مع يسوع، العريس، مشيرين إلى هوية حمل الله ويشاركون بفرح في الاستعداد لمجيئه. إنهم يدعمون عمل الإنجيل وينتظرون عودة المسيح. كان يوحنا المعمدان أول من دُعي صديق العريس — نموذجًا للتواضع والأمانة والمحبة ليسوع. ستكتشف ما يعنيه احتضان هذا الدعوة، أن تحيا بشغف من أجل يسوع العريس، وأن تهيّئ قلب العروس: أي الكنيسة.

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?
