In times of uncertainty, we can still be certain of
something. We have the sure and certain hope of eternal life, salvation and the
forgiveness of our sins by grace through faith in Jesus Christ alone!
Beginning with Palm Sunday, throughout Holy Week we
remember what the Son of God has done for all of humanity. Now, we remember
this all the time, but as the Church, we focus on Christ’s Passion this week.
- § We remember how Jesus entered into Jerusalem, not upon a war horse, but upon a humble donkey.
- § We remember how Jesus displayed His love for His disciples on Maundy Thursday as He said, “Take, eat; this is my body” and “Drink of it , all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins” (Matthew 26:26, 27-28).
- § We remember how Jesus washed His disciples feet following the institution of the Lord’s Supper when Peter asked Him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “What I am doing you do not understand now, but afterward you will understand” (John 13:6-7). Christ later says, “For I have given you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you” (John 13:15).
- § We remember how Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot, prayed at Gethsemane, was denied by Peter three times, was judged by Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and buried.
