Holy Week

Let us always remember the meaning of this week. After entering Jerusalem to the cheers of all those present, Jesus will be lead to his death on a a cross to the jeers of those same people. 

From death, Jesus became the firstborn of the death and, through his sacrifice, we received the gift of life.

Revelation 1:4-6 New Living Translation (NLT)

John’s Greeting to the Seven Churches

4 This letter is from John to the seven churches in the province of Asia.[a]

Grace and peace to you from the one who is, who always was, and who is still to come; from the sevenfold Spirit[b] before his throne; 5 and from Jesus Christ. He is the faithful witness to these things, the first to rise from the dead, and the ruler of all the kings of the world.

All glory to him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us. 6 He has made us a Kingdom of priests for God his Father. All glory and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
