Suffered For Us
Today is Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday, two celebrations in one service. We begin with a commemoration of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Then we look forward to the events of the coming week, and the Passion of our Lord, culminating with His atoning sacrifice on the cross. This Lent, we have been focusing on the tremendous blessings that are ours because our Savior offered Himself completely for us. Today as we commemorate the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem and the path that would take Him to the cross, we reflect on the suffering that lies before Him. Our God is not remote and detached from the suffering of this fallen world. He entered into it and took it upon Himself. As we face suffering in our lives, we do so in the strength of the Savior who suffered for us.
From Series: "For Us"
Jesus went to the cross for us. Our Sunday Lent series, focusing on the assigned Gospel readings for the season, will highlight how everything Jesus did was for our salvation. He was born, lived, died, rose again, and ascended for us.
