Nearing Holy Week

Closing in on Passion Sunday and Holy Week, the last week of this season of Lent, we pause for a moment and remember what we have been through.

The woman at the well is told by Jesus that she is one of the kingdom. A man born blind can now see, while the leaders of the Jews are still blind. Lazarus, who has been grieved four days in the tomb, is called forth and lives.

Jesus gives us a love that is personal, one on one. A love that know no boundaries of country, of sin, or death. Jesus brings a love that has power over death and the things that kill us, and brings us living water to slake our thirst for true relationship.

In this last week of Lent, look around you. Where is Jesus calling you to love as he has loved you? Where in your life has the love of Christ manifest itself in personal, one on one relationship that gives life?
