It is not just a time to rest and review but a time to choose. Without the resurrection, we still would be waiting on the Messiah to come.
We can believe we are living in the last days if we watch the news and read the bible and compare them both.
One key to reading of the Scriptures is to read it as a man on a mission. The battle for the Bible will never be over until Jesus returns.
2 Corinthians 9:8 " And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work". He loved me first.
Long ago, the church said people were not allowed to eat eggs during Holy Week, so any eggs that were laid by the chickens during this week were saved and decorated to make them "Holy Week eggs".

And promises all of us who imitate him in following him in carrying the cross. But it is not overwhelming. The blessings of the Lord help us, protect us and guide us to the right path of happiness and righteousness. We began with a procession of palms, in remembrance of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
It's easy to find bad news; let's be bearers of the Good News. Or have we forgotten this commitment?
It's the question every parent has asked their children and which generations of teachers have asked their generations of students.
Many today deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ: they deny the written Word of God. If the world was so flawless and there was no sin, there would have been no need for him to die. This is our mission: to love Him back. We are all sinners.
