Passion Week 2016

On Thursday, 24th of March 2016

We are celebrating  certainly the  most important historical happening on earth. The death of Christ and His resurrection. Let us never permit this to be forgotten. Our faith revolves around salvation of mankind and thus the Passion week is important to commemorate the suffering of Christ and its effect.

Palm Sunday reminds us of how Jesus entered into Jerusalem amid the great cheers of the crowds. Like the people in the time of Jesus, we too have certain expectations of God. Often we do not understand His actions. It is the Holy Spirit who leads us into the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Let us ask ourselves the question on Palm Sunday:

WHAT DO I EXPECT OF JESUS CHRIST?

On Good Friday we remember the death of Jesus Christ. This event makes it seem as though  evil has won – but it is precisely in this situation of abasement that the majesty of Jesus Christ is the true King, who truly rules and suffers for His own!

ABASED BY MAN, (OR EARTHLY CIRCUMSTANCES), BUT EXALTED BY GOD

Shall be our conviction on Good Friday.

The celebration of EASTER is the highpoint of the church year. It is a celebration of resurrection and the hope for new life. After the ignominious crucifixion of Jesus, evil seemed to have triumphed over good. The resurrection of Jesus Christ, however, demonstrates the power of God over evil and death. This resurrection gives believers the justified hope in their own resurrection and eternal life.

PROCLAIM TO THE WORLD THAT JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN AND LIVES IN US!

That is our Easter resolution
