Every year, Easter comes and goes. Most of the time, we just rush past it. Don't do that this year. Slow down. Think of what we miss out on when we rush past the Cross and Resurrection. The person and work of Jesus Christ should be our constant focus every day of the year. However, there is something unique about this season. The weeks leading up to Easter are an opportunity to re-focus ourselves on the great realities of the gospel.
We've got a few weeks. How will you spend them?
Here are a few suggestions for making the most of this season:
1. Read slowly through the passion narratives in the gospels (here is a summary of Jesus' final week).
2. Pick one or two Cross-focused songs/hymns that you can sing daily.
3. Read or re-read a book about the Cross of Jesus Christ (my suggestions).
4. Plan to take full advantage of any special Palm Sunday, Good Friday, or Easter gatherings your church is planning.
Have any suggestions of your own?
