Ma-thi-ơ 27:45

Ditangkap di taman itu, Yesus menanggung dua pengadilan palsu dan vonis paling tidak adil sepanjang sejarah. Sang Pencipta semesta, disalibkan oleh makhluk-makhluk ciptaan-Nya di sebuah bukit di luar Yerusalem. Dari tempat yang mengerikan itu, Kristus akan mengucapkan "tujuh kata terakhir"-Nya. Anda akan menemukan refleksi tentang masing-masing dari tujuh kata ini di halaman-halaman berikut. Saat Anda membaca artikel-artikel renungan ini, kami berdoa agar Anda merenungkan maknanya dan memperoleh dorongan dari janji harapan yang mekar selamanya.

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!

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?
