I am an bad evil person who keeps on looking someone's life without seeing mine. In this time, Palm Sunday has totally made me changed. I just now realize that being a christian is a good and a right path. Without God, I am nothing. This holy week is just the reminder of my life I've ever had beside my many ones.

Happiness and joy Jesus appreciated has fulfilled with hopes. All Christians around the globe expect the survival action for their severe sins against God. Jesus is the answer. Following the Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and the Resurrection day, Easter. Christians are expected not to go too far. This is the only week beside their many ones. So it's time to pray very hard, in order not to get into temptations, not eat too much, and most of all, is to turn their hearts completely to the Lord Jesus Christ and pray for his forgiveness. <br /><br />Especially on Good Friday, there will be no bells to ring, no happiness or having fun- only just to really put ourselves into sadness moment we've ever had in our life. Just only for this day. And most of all, no meats to eat.

Holy week had days filled with full-day or almost full-day services, Good Friday especially, I think. It was always a chore to serve because you'd serve for a couple hours at a time. There was also a service where we did the stations of the cross.<br /><br />Nowadays, we attend an Episcopal church. The services are more reasonable in length.Joe Baronehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275991273751678636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-57608070304442387772010-03-28T16:29:25.247-05:002010-03-28T16:29:25.247-05:00After doing it again this morning, I am always tou...After doing it again this morning, I am always touched, no, stabbed to the heart, when we participate in the reading of the Passion of the Lord. It's the crowd's job to say "we want Barabbas!" and "Crucify Him!" and "Let God save Him!" and saying it out loud, putting some emotion into it, makes me scuffle my feet and think of how I fail Him, no matter how much of His Grace He pours on me.<br /><br />Good way to start Holy Week.<br /><br />I am astonished at how many churches do not follow the timeline of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of the Lord in at least the week leading up to Easter. I listen to a non-denom church radio broadcast on Sundays when I get dressed for church, and they were dealing with some other message completely. Not wrong, but insensitive to people's need to get mindful, to get ready, to review their lives, before the Joy of the Resurrection.<br /><br />Therese ZAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-749955731953911627.post-30112341408076558462010-03-28T16:15:20.822-05:002010-03-28T16:15:20.822-05:00Being raised in a Baptist Church from a very littl...Being raised in a Baptist Church from a very little girl, I too remember the palm branches, and singing joyful songs. We would act out the story in Sunday School, laying material and palm branches on the floor and pretending we were the worshipers on the way.<br /><br />As an adult, and being in ministry so many years, my heart continually was amazed year after year at listening to my husband share the Easter series each year. I love this time of year, and I love that my sins are forgiven and someday, I will praise my Lord in person!<br /><br />Thanks for a good Palm Sunday post, Bob.Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06941735389982354519noreply@blogger.com
