Holy Week, the time of commemorating and remembering the Goodness and love of the Lord for all humanity. A reflection on the time leading up to Jesus journey to the cross. His enduring suffering and unwavering spirit of obedience and willingness to follow through the will of God. Flesh and spirit; with spirit taking the lead over the weakness of the flesh, Jesus surrender freely to his destiny without a fight. So can we!
We see this as a time of joy for ourselves, Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice for of salvation. But really this should be a time of mourning under the circumstances in which our world is going through today, social injustice, racism, pandemic, spiritual warfare and the list goes on. Holding unto all that Jesus has done for us without we ourselves doing our part in follow through to his will as he had done the Fathers. We got to break the traditions and let our actions be true in our consecration and devotions in this season of life. The change has taken place already and through the moving of the Holy Spirit our comforter and truth revealer, we all should have recognized it, and not feel the sense of lost and hopelessness. We are fasting and praying because it’s Lent season, a time of sacrifice and self-denial leading up to Easter. But now is a time to pray and fast for connectivity to God. Seeking first the Kingdom of God and all righteousness. We no longer have to sacrifice what Jesus has already done, our deliverance which is forever. We have to remain grounded and connected to Jesus.
This is a time to weep for our world and it’s stubbornness. It’s time to acknowledge and understand that obedience is the only sacrifice need to live in the will and peace that God ordain for us through Christ Jesus. As children of the most High God we must pray and fast for ourselves as well as others. See and feel the presence of His light in our lives today!
