"Holy Week = Resurrected Life Every Day" - Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute for April 13, 2022
(“Firm Foundation Inspiration Minute” is a weekly encouragement. Subscribe to this blog to stay connected.)
As with our other major Christ focused holiday, Christmas, we want to celebrate the core reason of the season, indeed every season, Jesus Christ.
Part of the Easter Celebration includes what we call “Holy Week.” Tradition identifies each day of the week with special emphasis on Christ's path towards His sacrifice on the Cross. Friday represents Jesus crucifixion which we call “Good Friday.” Sunday is the day we celebrate Jesus' resurrection.
I would like to suggest that whatever you do this week, Holy Week, in celebration of Christ and whatever you've done over the past 40 days if you celebrated the Roman Catholic religious practice of Lent, continue doing in spirit and attitude every day.
As people, we have the bad habit of jumping in and jumping out of spiritual emphasis and focus. Sometimes religious practice reinforces jumping in and out because spiritual focus is temporary and people feel better or justified when “jumping back in.” The reality is this: “The just shall live by faith” (Romans 1:17), we don’t jump in and out by faith
If Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection means anything, it means being raised to a new life. Religion cannot keep you where relationship with Christ brought you.
If you are a Christ Follower, challenge yourself to live a resurrected life everyday!
God Bless and Be Encouraged!
