“The Way of the Cross’“
We’re doing something a little bit different for Lent this year. We’re stretching out the story of Jesus’ last week over the whole course of the Lent season.
It’ll force us to slow down, reflect ond come to understand the significance of everything that happened between Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem up to his death and resurrection.

But part of putting our faith in Christ means believing that no matter how big the debt we owed God, it has been paid in full because of what he’s done for us.

Jesus isn’t where they expected to find him, and now they have to figure out what that means. In a sense, Easter continues to present us with that same challenge: Jesus is not where we expected to find him, so what does that mean for us?
