Markus 15:9

Now, more than ever, we are faced with everyone’s life as they want it to be seen, and the comparison to our own lives stirs up envy. You do not want this spirit festering in you, but what about the damage envy causes when it is coming against you from another person? In this reading plan, you will discover how to overcome envy, safeguard your heart, and walk in freedom.

We all have a common denominator. We will die. I will die. You will die. Death will defeat you. You won’t be able to dodge it, sidestep it, trick it or make it disappear. But then there is Jesus, the man who defeated the grave. Jesus stood toe to toe with the grave and defeated death. When Jesus talks, the grave speaks.

Merenungkan penderitaan dan kematian-Nya di kayu salib akan memperdalam penghayatan kita akan betapa besarnya kasih-Nya pada kita. Dan, merenungkan kebangkitan-Nya pada Minggu Paskah memberi kita harapan baru akan masa depan. Siapkan hatimu dengan meluangkan waktu terbaikmu, lalu berdoalah agar setiap artikel yang tertulis dalam renungan ini membuka kembali relung-relung hatimu untuk menerima kasih Kristus yang begitu besar, yang telah diwujudkan-Nya dalam kematian dan kebangkitan-Nya!

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?
