We go through every day basically the same as the one before it, just doing life, often not with great expectations or anticipation. Then suddenly, God moves in a new way. A divine opportunity unfolds. His hand reaches out to us, inviting us to get up and run. But are we paying attention? Can we see it? Are you ready to grab God's hand and run with him?

“Speak now or forever hold your peace.” These words are spoken at many weddings and I have never experienced anyone actually acting on them! However, there comes times when God gives us opportunities to speak so that our words truly make a difference. We have a chance to speak truth, grace and love before that particular window closes. We will look at this kind of opportunity in the life of Peter and think about how we can be ready to speak when the opportunity comes.

“Righteous Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know that you have sent me. I have made you known to them, and will continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be in them and that I myself may be in them.” (John 17:25-26)
Shortly after praying this, Jesus would be arrested, tortured, and crucified. Indeed, His suffering would be the most generous expression of love in all of history. We believe this and rejoice that Jesus’ life didn’t end on the cross, or in the grave, but that He did rise in victory and He is exalted in glory.
This Sunday, we rejoice in God’s unfailing love and the power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is alive and by grace through faith — we are alive in Him!

This week is Palm Sunday. In the Gospels, we see that centuries of waiting, hoping, and watching will culminate in this Holy week. In Matthew 21, we find Jesus entering Jerusalem and being joyfully hailed as the long awaited prophet. This is King Jesus — the one who has come in the name of the Lord.
Consider this, "Here on this Sunday we find, in microcosm, the joys and sorrows of the legendary week ahead. This initial clash with the authorities anticipates the coming conspiracy, the traitor that will emerge, the fearful disciples who will flee, and the sheer demonic wickedness that will descend upon the city and culminate in his death by sundown Friday. And yet the joy of Palm Sunday forecasts the unrivalled euphoria to come on Easter morning.” (David Mathis)

As we move closer to Easter, we are setting our hearts on God’s powerful plan of redemption. To more fully appreciate the miracle of the Resurrection, we must also consider the history and wisdom leading to the Cross.
The road to the Cross was paved with the shame and suffering of mankind, but also the power and beauty of God’s astounding love.
