Easter is more than just a holiday—it’s a powerful story of love, sacrifice, and victory. The week leading up to Easter, known as Passion Week, takes us through Jesus’ final days on earth, showing the depth of His love and the price He paid to bring us hope. Let’s take a moment to walk through this incredible journey together.
A Walk Through Passion Week:
🌿 Palm Sunday – Jesus enters Jerusalem as a King, but not as expected. Riding on a donkey, He fulfills prophecy as crowds shout, “Hosanna!” (Matthew 21:1-11).
🔄 Monday & Tuesday – Jesus overturns tables in the temple, calling for purity in worship (Matthew 21:12-17). He also teaches profound lessons on faith, authority, and the greatest commandment.
💔 Wednesday – Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples, agrees to betray Him for 30 pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16). Even in betrayal, Jesus moves forward in love and purpose.
🍷 Thursday – The Last Supper – Jesus shares a final meal with His disciples, introducing communion and washing their feet—an act of ultimate humility and service (Luke 22:14-20, John 13:1-17).
✝️ Good Friday – Jesus is arrested, beaten, mocked, and ultimately crucified. On the cross, He carries the weight of our sin, offering Himself as the ultimate sacrifice (Luke 23:33-46).
🌑 Saturday – The Silence – The world falls into stillness. Jesus' body rests in the tomb. But the story isn’t over.
✨ Resurrection Sunday! – The grave is empty. Jesus is ALIVE, proving that death is defeated and offering new life to all who believe (Luke 24:1-6)!
Why Does Passion Week Matter?
Passion Week is a reminder that God’s love is relentless. Jesus didn’t endure the cross for religion—He did it to bring us into relationship with Him. His resurrection changes everything, offering hope, forgiveness, and a fresh start for anyone who believes.
This week, take time to reflect on what Jesus has done for you. Read through the Gospel accounts, pray, and prepare your heart for Easter. It’s more than a holiday—it’s a celebration of victory, grace, and new life!
