Holy Week 2025

 


I committed to reading the New Testament during Lent this year. I took many notes as passages jumped out at me, I also discovered highlighter tape and transparent sticky notes. How have I lived all these years without them? 

I also took a break from social media during Lent. I deactivated my Instagram account, I haven't decided if I will deactivate my Facebook account. Social media isn't the friendly, amusing, fun place it used to be.

As we remember Jesus' last week: the triumphant entry into Jerusalem, the Last Supper with His disciples including the man who betrayed Him and His arrest and Crucifixion, let us endeavor to let go of offense, anger, self-righteousness, and casting stones at people.

Turn off the news, walk away from your devices. Go outdoors, enjoy His creation, visit with neighbors. 

Jesus died for You, He died for me, He died for the very people who offend you.  Remember His prayer: 

 

Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.

Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
1Give us this day our daily bread,
1and forgive us our debts,
    as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.

Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil spirit,a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries." If Iraq becomes a land of such rich excesses, could it be 1 of the only major oil producers left? (This is food for thought on my part.) In a moment, I will walk you through the prophecies step-by-step. But first, let me note that the predictions found in Ezekiel chapters 36 & 37 have already come true. These are the famous ...
