మత్తయి 27:51-52

Goede Vrijdag, zo heet de vrijdag voor Pasen. Op die vrijdag denken christenen aan de dag waarop Jezus meer dan 2000 jaar geleden werd vermoord. Dit gebeurde door middel van een kruisiging; een Romeinse martelmethode. Dat klinkt niet heel goed, voor een ‘Goede’ Vrijdag. Toch is er iets hoopvols uit deze dag te halen voor veel mensen.

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?
