Monday Holy Week
John 12:1-11
Six days before Passover
Jesus came to Bethany,
Where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.
They gave a dinner for Him there, and Martha served,
while Lazarus was one of those reclining at table with Him.
Mary took a liter of costly perfumed oil
made from genuine aromatic nard
and
anointed the feet of Jesus
and dried them with her hair
The house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
Then Judas the Iscariot, one of His disciples,
and the one who would betray Him, said,
"Why was this oil not sold for three hundred days' wages
and given to the poor?"
He said this not because he cared about the poor
but because he was a thief and held the money bag
and used to steal the contributions.
So Jesus said,
“Leave her alone.
Let her keep this for the day of my burial.
You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”
The large crowd of the Jews found out that He was there and came,
not only because of Him, but also to see Lazarus,
whom He had raised from the dead.
And the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
because many of the Jews were turning away
and believing in Jesus because of him.

This Easter Holy Week
begins
With the aroma
of God's Anointing
Easter Holy Week begins with an unusual view of Good News.
The Pope has made a recovery after a month in the hospital at age 88. King Charles visits the Pope, after many have prayed for his recovery.
The White House begins Holy Week with a video dedicating the Week to the Lord Jesus and His Service.
An atmosphere of Love and Hope. The Joy of the Lord is our strength as spring arrives with His Gift of Jesus Christ as Salvation.
Our yard found a Muscovy Duck hatching her brood. She chose well and hid in the Iron Clad plant's dense foliage. And she had such dedication. We were pretty pleased and worried our discovery had thrown her permanently off.
Edward was helping with
Algae Green Sense Spray
and found
a
Carolina Wren hopping frantically
to
save her nest.
Awwwww
The Goodness is beginning to feel Abundant
President Donald Trump's Holy Week Message
wasn't a typical, obligatory, official government statement. Instead, it was filled with the type of language used by Christians, pointing to this week as being sacred to his personal faith, as his own post to Truth Social even
declared,
“HE IS RISEN!”
President Trump declared, “This Holy Week, Melania and I join in prayer with Christians celebrating the crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
—the living Son of God who conquered death, freed us from sin, and unlocked the gates of Heaven for all of humanity.”
President Trump issued a faith-filled presidential message on Palm Sunday in honor of Holy Week as Christians around the world commemorate the holiest time of the year. And now there are reports that his administration is also planning a unique Easter staff worship ceremony at the White House
with Rev. Franklin Graham
as well as Pastors Greg Laurie
and Jentezen Franklin.
The White House statement referred to the pivotal events that filled this Holy Week, including Jesus' “triumphal entry into Jerusalem,” Holy Thursday when His Last Supper took place, Good Friday as the day Christ was crucified for our sins, and finally “His miraculous Resurrection from the dead” on Sunday.
“During this sacred week, we acknowledge that the glory of Easter Sunday cannot come without the sacrifice Jesus Christ made on the cross.
In His final hours on Earth,
Christ willingly endured excruciating pain, torture, and execution on the cross out of a deep and abiding love for all His creation.
Through His suffering, we have redemption.
Through His death, we are forgiven of our sins.
Through His Resurrection, we have hope of eternal life.
On Easter morning,
the stone is rolled away, the tomb is empty,
and light prevails over darkness—signaling that death does not have the final word,”

Abba, Father,
Life assures us the road has sharp turns,
Unforeseen corners and the comments do not cease.
Jesus Himself tells us
He is the way, the truth and the Life.
Know the Scriptures,
Know the Power of God.
And we will believe in the One He has Sent.
Surely, He took on our infirmities
and carried our sorrows;
yet, we considered Him stricken by God,
struck down and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace
was upon Him,
and
by His stripes
we are healed.
Each Day we are Blessed
to ask for more
More Heaven on earth.
More Give us This Day.
More Daily Bread.
The Universe is upheld
by the
Power of Your Word.
May The Lord God Almighty
His Son Jesus
surround and uphold us
in This Peace.
The Peace is Upheld by God Himself
and
we ask
His Blessing and Favor.
Gently, we hand You our Cares
knowing Your Hands hold
this so well.
Tenderly.
And we are Loved and Filled.
We give thanks for
Your Sacrifice
To bring those unworthy
to be adopted into Your Family.
Knowing we are not perfect,
have weakness,
flaws
and sins.
And draw near to you with confidence
in Jesus Christ
according to Your Will
Your Word
Your Steadfast Love
and Your Promises in Jesus.
Dwell in us
and help us to be Pleasing to You
Dwell in those we Love and Honor
and help us to seek You first
and we will end well
in Jesus Christ.
In the Highest Name
of Jesus Christ,
Amen
