40 Days to the Resurrection- Day 38

Easter is worth celebrating carefully and intentionally.  The season of Lent in traditional Christianity is a set time of preparation for our minds, hearts, and bodies to celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice on our behalf.  The time is designed to imitate the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness, re-orienting our hungers and affections to find our satisfaction in God’s provision above all else.  At TPC we are offering this practice as a way to individually and corporately deepen our understanding of God’s provision for us in Jesus and prepare our souls for Easter.

Day 38 | Matthew 27:32-44, Jesus Carried the Cross |  Symbol: Jesus Carrying the Cross

Explanation:  The final humiliation of Jesus was the nailing of his body on the Cross for all to see. The crucifixion was a punishment for serious crimes but Jesus did nothing to justify that. 

Prayer:  Jesus, thank you for being our underserved King and Savior.  Please forgive us of our many sins that we bring before you daily.
