Matei 27:45

Habang nakapako sa krus, sinambit ni Jesus ang pitong mga kataga. Ngunit hindi lamang ito mga simpleng salita. Kapahayagan ang bawat isa sa mga ito ng pag-asa, kapatawaran, at kaligtasang maaari nating makamit kung magtitiwala tayo kay Jesus. Ating tuklasin ang lalim ng pag-ibig ng Diyos para sa atin.

Taun-taon, naglalaan ang buong mundo ng isang linggong pagdiriwang sa buhay, kamatayan, at muling pagkabuhay ni Jesu-Cristo. Bilang isang iglesya, tingnan natin ang iba’t ibang pananaw ng mga tao na nakapalibot sa mga pangyayaring naganap noong araw ng kamatayan ng ating Panginoon at Tagapagligtas at kung paano rin natin mararanasan sa kasalukuyan ang panibagong buhay.

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?

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!
