A HEART THAT BURNS
WORSHIP FOCUS
Remember
SCRIPTURE
Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion! Shout, Daughter Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
-Zechariah 9:9
We look at the last week of Jesus's life before the cross. We know that everything he says and does carries weight. This is not the time for the trivial and mundane.
Each day we must continue to look for how our commitment and obedience will help us grasp what Jesus's death on the cross means. We must ask ourselves if our hearts burn with what carried Jesus to the cross. We cannot only review how this event changed the world. We must also ask how it reorients our own lives. How does it share hope, no matter where we find chaos or conflict?
Ask Jesus to guide you as you take these questions into this week. Let him confirm new understandings and show you how to live new insights. No matter how often we have reviewed this story, we need a new surrender to what Jesus did and why.
BURNING QUESTION
What difference has it made that Jesus brought salvation that you cannot negotiate or reproduce?
SUNDAY PRAYER
Life-giving Jesus, help me review the events of Holy Week to rekindle and sustain a consuming fire in my heart for all that you want me to live because of the cross.
