From Palms to PassionDevotions for Holy WeekBy Carol Geisler It all happened in one week, the seven days we now call Holy Week. God’s plan of salvation, set in motion so long ago, was accomplished by the Son of God, who fulfilled the purpose for which he had come. The Lamb of God was sacrificed for the sins of the world, for our sins. With these devotions, follow Jesus through the astonishing events that took place in one week, from Palms to Passion.Paper • 16 pages • 5⅜" x 8⅜"Code PA2

For God So Loved the WorldDevotions drawn from John 3:16By Carol GeislerThe few words of John 3:16 are sometimes called “the Gospel in a nutshell.” These devotions explore the verse that so well sums up the unexpected, self-sacrificing love of God for the world he created. The sign of the cross, an instrument of violence and death, has become for us a sign of forgiveness and life. God sent his Son as the Savior of the world, so that all who believe in him will have eternal life. That is how God so loved the world. Paper • 16 pages • 5⅜" x 8⅜"Code GL3

Centuries before, Peter explained, the great King David had written about death and about the hope and promise of resurrection. David said that God would not leave his Holy One in the place of the dead or let his body experience corruption and decay: “For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is full-ness of joy” (Psalm 16:10-11).But David was not talking about himself, Peter said, or about his own experience of death. David died and his body was buried and, in fact, Peter told the crowd, you can still visit his tomb! “I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day … he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ” (Acts 2:29, 31). The Holy Spirit inspired David to write about the resurrection of Jesus. His tomb was nearby, but it was empty!Jesus was crucified, but God raised him from the dead! Peter and the other disciples were eyewitnesses. They had seen and touched and listened to the risen Lord. “This Jesus God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses” (Acts 2:32). Peter proclaimed the joyful news: Jesus, crucified and risen from the dead, was exalted by God as Lord of all and Messiah of Israel! “Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified” (Acts 2:36).Peter proclaimed the Gospel on that Day of Pentecost. Jesus, who was crucified, had been raised from the dead. The Holy Spirit was at work as that good news was proclaimed, moving the people in that Pentecost crowd to repent of their sins and be baptized for the forgiveness of their sins. The Church grew! “Those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls” (Acts 2:41).

Fifty days after Jesus’ resurrection, an Easter sermon was proclaimed on the Day of Pen-tecost. Jesus has risen from the dead! It is a message that will be proclaimed until the Lord returns on the Last Day. Whenever and wherever the good news is announced, the Holy Spirit will be at work, calling peo-ple to faith in the crucified and risen Savior.

Dear Lord, thank you

for giving me your love.

Help me keep my rela-

tionships with my family

strong and loving.

Please continue to bless

me with all the gifts

a mother needs.

Amen.

Beloved, let us love one another,

for love is from God, and whoever loves has

been born of God and knows God.

for good works, which God

prepared beforehand,

that we should walk in

them.

Loving Father,

all the dreams, and the love,

you have for me.

As Jesus once welcomed lit-tle children, so he still wel-comes us into his presence when we come to worship. He is present to feed us with his Word and with his body and blood. He listens as we bring our daily needs before him in prayer. Jesus goes with us as we leave the wor-ship service and go about our daily work. He wants to be with us and has, in fact, promised exactly that. Jesus said, “I am with you always, until the end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). The welcome of our weekly worship is a reminder of what is yet to come. When this age, this pres-ent world, does come to an end, Jesus will return to gather us to himself. He wants us to be where he is, and he will welcome us into his presence forever.
