Easy Way Out


Always rejoice, constantly pray, in everything give thanks. For this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Life can certainly take an inexpiable turn for the worst.  Jesus knew all too well how quickly things could change. He was greeted by a large crowd victoriously waiving palm branches and chanting "Hosanna in the highest" only to have His closest friends abandon Him a few short days later as He was led to a brutal flogging and death on the cross.

He never wavered on following God's will for His life. Jesus knew what He had to do to save us all from certain death and by becoming the atonement for our sins on the cross. Despite the gruesomeness of His crucifixion, He remained in prayer and obediently followed God's will for His life.

This Holy Week, as we reflect on Jesus' death and prepare to celebrate His resurrection on Easter Sunday, remain in prayer and give God thanks despite your circumstances.
