Happy Palm Sunday Everyone!!

Let us all be thankful for a savior who purposefully gave his life for us. He rode into Jerusalem knowing that he would be crucified only a few days later.

I am going to try to spend Holy Week thinking about how Christ, the perfect Son of God, laid down his life and took my sin upon himself so that I wouldn't have to bear the consequences of it. Because of his sacrifice on my behalf, I will enjoy eternal life in heaven with my Savior.

I've taken all of this for granted, especially in the past few months. I spend way too much time feeling sorry for myself and wishing certain things were different. But whenever I'm tempted to dwell on the things I don't like about my life, I will try to re-direct my thoughts to Christ and his ultimate sacrifice for me. I really am an ungrateful wretch most of the time, so please pray that God will change my heart and cause me to dwell on Christ and everything that this Easter week symbolizes.

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
