We live in a death-denying culture. We don’t like to think about it, talk about it, or even plan on it. But Jesus did not have that option. The shadow of the cross stretched across each day of His life on earth.

If you knew it was your last week, how would you spend your time? This week, this day, could be your last. How are you investing your time?

If you knew you had just one more week to live, how would you spend that week? Your answer reveals your priorities.

Christianity is not implemented on selfish terms, worship is not limited to specific times, and salvation is not designed for certain types.

Jesus’ final week began with Mary anointing Him with costly perfume. He entered Jerusalem as the Messiah, riding on a donkey as throngs of His followers welcomed Him as their Prince of Peace. Responses to His teaching varied. Some clung to His side, but in the end, all fled. How should we respond to Jesus, our suffering Saviour?

Authentic love is unconditional and unselfish. It can change lives.

Jesus said “love one another,” and the word He used was “agape.” Agape is the highest form of love. It’s deliberate refusal to respond negatively. It’s a conquest of the will.

A family is a place that relates to one another, it’s a place where one member feels pain and is supported by others who encourage him or her in the hurt. A family is a place that listens when others speak. It’s a place that cares.

In these uncertain times the world is looking for authenticity. When we show love to one another we’re taking a step in helping a needy and hostile world.

It matters that you get involved. This doesn’t necessarily mean joining a protest march; it can be as straightforward as connecting with people and making a positive difference in their lives.
