As only God can do, Christ’s last week on earth turned things upside down.
-

-
- He entered the city in a noisy and joyful parade
- He chased the moneychangers out of the Temple
- He celebrated the Passover with His dearest friends
- He put up with a sham trial
- He died on a cross

What were the high points? The lows? For whom?
As Joseph said to his brothers about their plan to sell him into slavery:
Genesis 50:20 (NLT)
God intended it all for good.
It’s a roller-coaster of a week. And in the end, it’s all good.
Good morning, Lord. How did You feel during the last week of Your earthly life? Did You want to hurry up and get it over and done? Or did You want to stretch it out, make it last? My time is in Your hands — how should I feel about time? Forgive me for thinking it is my enemy, for feeling like it’s not enough.
Teach me to accept it as a gift from You, to use it wisely and joyfully. Teach me to use it all for good.
