Today marks the beginning of Holy Week: the start of Christ's journey from the expectant praise of the crowds on Palm Sunday, through the humble, self-giving love shared on Maundy Thursday, to the horrible suffering, shame and death endured on the cross on Good Friday, and finally to the world-changing hope of His resurrection at Easter. Instead of a Sermon this Sunday, we are invited to spend some more time reflecting on the Gospel readings, both the account of Christ Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, as well as of His faithful sacrifice and death on the cross. In our Morning Prayer service today, the second Gospel reading from Matthew has several invitations to pause and prayerfully reflect on the unfolding story. Please do not rush through this time, but invite the Holy Spirit of God to make known the significance of the story of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us and for our world. It may be beneficial to slowly read the Gospel aloud, and to make a note of any parts of the reading that especially stand out to you. Throughout the coming week, bring all these things back to God in prayer. Our service of Morning Prayer, and Bulletin this week can be found here: And our All-Ages Song for Lent can be found here: Today marks the fifth Sunday of Lent, a sacred season for Christians to prepare in mind, body, and spirit, to follow our Saviour Jesus Christ to the cross, and the solemn commemoration of His betrayal, death, and resurrection at Holy Week. Some of the traditional practices of the season of Lent include fasting, the study of Scripture, prayerful reflection, and generous almsgiving. We do these things not to try and earn God's favour, but to humbly draw nearer to Him in faith, that our lives may be reshaped by the power of God's holy love made known to us in Jesus Christ our Saviour. To help us grow in our understanding and faith as Christ's disciples today, each week we will be sharing a link to a video from the Bible Project from their series on the Character of God.
