Into His Image

Hosanna in the Highest

3/28/2021

​Today marks the start of Passion Week.  A point on the calendar when Christians over the past couple millennia take time to remember and reflect on the final week of Jesus before His crucifixion.  A lot took place in this monumental week, which was the pinnacle of Jesus’ three-year earthly ministry.  From Palm Sunday to Resurrection Sunday, history was forever changed.  In the course of one seven-day period, Jesus went from being the people’s favorite to their worst criminal to exalted, risen Son of God.  Therefore, let us take some time this week to meditate, study, and remember the journey Jesus took to purchase our redemption—the sacrifices He made, the pain He suffered, and the glory He received when He conquered death.
 
The week began with a great start.  The crowds loved Jesus.  They followed Him faithfully and on that sunny day that has since become known as Palm Sunday, they seized the opportunity to tell the world exactly what they thought of Jesus.

Palm Sunday:  Waving Foliage and Empty Praise

4/14/2019

​Today is Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Easter.  It marks the beginning of Passion Week and all that is remembered and celebrated.  However, let’s go back in time to the first Palm Sunday and remember what actually happened on that memorable day in Jerusalem.
“Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,  saying to them, ‘Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.  If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and he will send them at once.’  This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, ‘Say to the daughter of Zion, “Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden.”’  The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.  They brought the donkey and the colt and put on them their cloaks, and he sat on them.  Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.  And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!’”
~Matthew 21: 1a, 6-9

Merry Christmas!

12/25/2018

​I know it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged.  This is the first Advent season in three years that I haven’t written something.  Sorry for the silence!  This Christmas season has gone by in a blur of activity and festivity.  I hope you have all been blessed by the season.
 
But as we approach today—Christmas morning—there is a certain level of awe and wonder that ought to fill our hearts as we contemplate and ponder the birth of Christ.  Not only were the events surrounding His birth amazing and incredible, but the very fact that He came fills my heart with worship.

O Worship the Savior!

12/5/2017

Thanksgiving is over.  The Christmas tree is coming out of storage and the house is being transformed into a Christmas wonderland.  Lights are twinkling, Christmas music is playing, and the festive activities of the season are just beginning.  But as we get ready for Christmas and the days leading up to it, God has brought to my attention a central theme to the season:  Christmas is about worship.​

    Guest Post ~ When Stories Collide
    Stories are strange things. Because it isn't the big, important people who are usually the main characters; it's not the sunny, lovely days that move the story along. It's the little people who become the heroes. It's the disasters that cause the quest.  Read more
