Download or read book A Journey Through Holy Week written by Justin Miller and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I forgot!” How many of us have heard those words from our own mouths after we failed to remember something important? God’s people, both in the Old Testament and his redeemed today, are guilty of forgetting what matters most in the busyness of daily life. Is it any wonder that in the Law of God, the Torah, three festivals a year were to be attended by all Jewish males to reflect on God’s grace, goodness, and revealed truth? In Deuteronomy 6:9–12, the people were to put God’s word on their doorposts so that they would not forget his commands and acts of deliverance when they settled in the promise land. In the New Testament, Jesus institutes two ordinances (baptism and the Lord’s Supper) for the church to practice in order to remember and reverently celebrate what he accomplished on their behalf. Throughout Holy Scripture, God calls his forgetful people to reflect on and remember his past works, so they may see his everlasting glory. Taking a journey through Holy Week in the Gospel of Matthew is another opportunity to reflect on the person and work of the Lord Jesus. Holy Week begins on the first Sunday before Resurrection Sunday (Easter) and reflects on the events of Jesus’ last days leading up to his crucifixion and resurrection. This journey through Holy Week is meant to remind us of the person and work of Jesus so that our affections will be stirred and our mouths will praise him to the glory of God the Father.
Download or read book In the Company of Christ written by Benedicta Ward and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With In the Company Christ, Sister Benedicta Ward, a church historian, guides us through the history of Christian procession. Through the practice of pilgrimage we live the resurrection, and join a wide Christian community. Pilgrimage is a way into the eternal Jerusalem, a way into the Gospel. Over centuries of practice, the rituals and traditions of pilgrimage have evolved. Using the Holy Days of Palm Sunday, Good Friday, and Easter as her signposts, Sr. Ward takes us through time. Among our stops is ancient Palestine, where we explore the writings of the 4th Spanish nun, Egeria. Leaving Jerusalem, we cross time and arrive in the rituals of medieval English monasticism. Finally, we end where we began, with a journey into the Trinity. By taking part in this historical procession, we find a clear line of continuity between ancient and medieval times, and our own modernity. In the Company of Christ is a journey for an individual or for a parish, to be taken during Lent or any time of the church year.

Download or read book Why the Cross written by Georg Retzlaff and published by Author House. This book was released on 2010-01-26 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Holy Week is an almost entirely private event in our culture. Apart from Palm Sunday and Easter there are no public holidays, no processions, no pageantry, often not even Church services to mark the last days of Christ on earth. There may be some evening worship, mostly poorly attended, to guide us through His passion. But this is a week that deserves our focused attention even if we are busy and find no time to attend church. Why the Cross? is a collection of meditations, beginning with Palm Sunday, resting briefly on every day's events, reaching into Good Friday with reflections on the Seven Last Words of Christ on the cross, and moving on to the stillness of Holy Saturday and finding its climax in the celebration of Easter. This is a book superbly suited to the needs of those who want to understand His passion for abundant life, who wish to go beyond the facile phrases of pulpit lingo, who suspect that He did not come to die but to live that we might have life. This journey through Holy Week dwells on the various representations of the cross in art history. It encourages the readers not just to think about that cross, but to make it and take it up and follow Him who gave His life on it.

Download or read book Shall All be Well written by Graham Ward and published by SLG Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fairacres Publications 175 Graham Ward invites us on a journey to discover how God’s love enfolds even our inner darkness. He recasts as a question the oft-quoted words of Jesus to Julian of Norwich, thus articulating a deep perplexity, familiar to anyone who confronts the realities of our human condition. Readers are not spared a truthful examination of the workings of sin, fear and shame, but the author sets these things in the context of our creation out of nothing and our life ultimately ‘hid with Christ in God’. This in turn leads to fresh understanding of the Cross and Passion of Christ, the depths of the redemption he offers, and the hope and freedom available to us.

Download or read book A Journey with John written by David Thomson and published by Authentic. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Journey with John is based around five reflective Bible studies on the passion narrative in John’s Gospel. Each study is accompanied by thought-provoking questions, prayer starters and illustrations. This short book is designed to help the reader move on in their devotional life from the keeping of Lent to the celebration of Easter. It uses historical background, textual exegesis, imaginative reflection and topical application to build bridges between John’s account of the passion of Jesus and the reader’s own journey of faith. Many Christians meet in Lent groups or take a Lent book to read. A Journey with John seeks to take its readers on from Lent into Holy Week, and use that special time to strengthen their understanding of Jesus’ passion and so also the joy of Easter. Holy Week is an ideal time to dig deeper into the heart of the gospel and let it bear more fully on our lives, but it has often only been "kept" in churches of a more Catholic tradition. Writing in a way which crosses barriers of churchmanship and holds to a lively but traditional faith, David Thomson opens up this opportunity to readers of all backgrounds in a new way. • Ideal for small group and individual use. • Can be used as the basis for a series or program by pastors. • Practical yet lively. • A thought-provoking guide for Lent. • A Bible study on the Passion narrative in John’s Gospel especially for use in Holy Week.
