Holy Week

For Christians across the world this is the most important week of the year celebrating the life and death of Lord Our Savior Jesus Christ; also the resurrection where he came back to life after three days.

For most those who do not understand what Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross think it is just a religious holiday. This is true for those who have made Christianity a religion and not the way of life.

There are those who think Christianity is like any other religion and that is not true at all. We are all sinner who have lost their way and Jesus Christ crucified himself for our sins however it is even more than that we must lay our lives down as Christ did for us. Not an easy thing to do but that is what he asks us to do. We can’t do it in our own strength but in his strength. John 3:3 speaking to a Pharisee leader Nicodemus he replied to him Jesus saying “no one can see the Kingdom of God unless they are born again. What he means is not in the natural but in the supernatural. This is why not in our own strength.  Luke 18 verse 27 Jesus replied “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”

Possibly  the most important words Jesus said  is the most recognized words quoted by him John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that  he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  Not only are the strongest and most important words they are the simplest words as well.  You do not have tried to be the strongest person or think that your life will change on its own. None of us are perfect and we have all sinned. We have not met his mark of righteous and we never will. This is the reason that Christ put his life down for us. He was the perfect man who did not sin but he put sin on himself so we can be righteous in the eyes of God. The simple thing we need to do is confess our sins to him and ask forgiveness. This is all about belief. We don’t have to be religious and we can be anywhere in our lives just confess and believe.

You can do this right now if you like and not wait another second. Enjoy this week and be holy as Christ is holy.
