More than two thousand years ago, God’s plan of redemption altered the world forever. The power of sin and death was broken through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ that first Easter. Death was defeated. True life, spiritual life, God’s life triumphed.

On Palm Sunday we start by coming alive to Jesus’s life, which was above and beyond human understanding. On this day, we begin to experience the life-giving truth of Holy Week and of God’s power to transform each one of us into a new creation.

On Good Friday we will not look down in fear or defeat but hold our heads high as we focus on the cross and come alive to the sacrifice Jesus made.

On Easter we will celebrate Jesus’s resurrection and come alive to His power to change our lives.
