Preparing My Heart for Easter

This is from the blog for the college ministry at my church. It really spoke to me and this is the attitude I'm trying to achieve this week. I hope it causes you to think as well...

"Yesterday was the beginning of Holy Week. This is the week we celebrate and think upon the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Many people are familiar with the typical Sunday Easter where we celebrate Christ’s resurrection. There is also Good Friday where we examine the cross and enter into the darkest days of Christianity. Maundy Thursday is also a part of Holy Week which includes the Last Supper, Betrayal and trial of Jesus.

There are many “traditions” to observe this week, but what about your relationship with Christ? Will you take some time this week to FOCUS on your sin? Dwell on your seperation from God apart from Christ. Embrace the depth of your depravity, so the cross might be that much more glorious to you this week. Don’t run to the cross until you have really thought about your sin to the point that you have no option but His grace and goodness."
