От Матфея 27:46-50

As Christ followers, we all prefer mountaintop experiences in our faith. But, it’s usually in the spiritual valleys where we learn and grow, and where our faith expands. After reading this 5-day Plan, you’ll have the insight to handle these spiritual bleak times with grace and hope and be encouraged that God is working in them even if you don’t feel it.

Это самый чёрный день в истории человечества, день, когда люди убили Бога. Единственный Человек, сумевший прожить совершенную жизнь, был приговорён к мучительной и позорной смерти. Но это же и самый светлый день в истории каждого из нас. Поскольку именно в этот день был оплачен счёт наших грехов и ошибок, когда мы были выкуплены из рабства и праведность Божья была подарена нам.

The final week in the life of Jesus was no ordinary week. It was a time of bittersweet goodbyes, lavish giving, cruel betrayals and prayers that shook heaven. Experience this week, from Palm Sunday to the miraculous Resurrection, as we read through the Biblical account together. We will cheer with the crowds on Jerusalem’s streets, shout in anger at Judas and the Roman soldiers, cry with the women at the Cross, and celebrate as Easter morning dawns!

Let’s slow down this Holy Week and learn from Christ’s final days on earth. Each day we will receive lessons or gifts that He took the time to give. Do you need a fresh reminder of what mattered most to Christ—that you love His people and follow Him? What could He want to teach you this Holy Week?
