Lent is the 46 days before Easter Sunday. Just as we take time to prepare for other events in our personal lives; from weddings, birthdays, or any other celebration. Lent calls us to prepare to our hearts, minds, and lives and focus on the amazing love Jesus showed us through His Death & Resurection.

This marks the Sunday before Easter, where Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The crowd honored and praised him by laying down palm branches and clothing as a sign of respect. It is also the start of Holy Week.

Friday is the day we Celebrate the Death of Jesus on the cross for our sins. Wait, how can a day be good if it is about death?  While yes this is a very somber celebration, it is "good" because it is the moment where the cost of our sin was paid in full, for all eternity.

Often referred as the Super-bowl weekend at church. This is day to party and really celebrate. Why? well because on the third day Jesus didn't stay in the grave. He conquered death, proving that He was not just a man with some good wise stories and teachings, but is fully God and fully man, who's death on Friday wasn't just some dude who died on a cross, but God taking on flesh becoming man paying the price for our sin, and how lives and invites us into a relationship with him. Would you place your faith, love, devotion, worries, hopes, and life into a god that didn't love you personally enough to die for you, and that wasn't capable or had the power to conquer death?
