Matei 26:28

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!

你有没有想过，为什么我们在降临节期间会有这么多的庆典和歌颂？几个世纪以来，在世界各地的教会用许多不同的语言来歌唱无数的圣诞诗歌。历史上从未有人像拿撒勒人耶稣一般被歌颂。我们为什么在圣诞节唱歌呢？因为神亲自来到我们身边！祂降世来到我们失丧的世界，因为祂爱我们。降临节的第一首歌曲不是由巴赫或亨德尔创作的，也不是耳熟能详的《平安夜》或《普世宣扬》。关于我们救主诞生的第一首歌曲被记录在路加福音中，并由第一世纪的犹太人歌颂：马利亚、撒迦利亚、西缅，以及一个令人惊叹的天使合唱团，他们的声音共同成为天外之音！我们将花四个星期的时间聆听这些虔诚的犹太人和天使们对期待已久的弥赛亚诞生所发出的欢呼。你可以在官网上找到更多这期读经计划「齐来欢颂」的内容，包括博文和Facebook或Instagram主页。让我们一起深入学习神的话语，并学习如何在这个降临节和来年赞美我们的救主。

Bloody, beaten, and nailed to a cross, a dying Jesus looked at those around Him and spoke His final words as a man. In this 12-day reading and devotional plan, you’ll examine Jesus’ final words and see the power that they have for us today. Relive Jesus' final hours, and celebrate His ultimate victory on this red-letter day.
