On this 7th day of Passion Week, we remember that Christ rested in the tomb, His work on the cross finished. Tomorrow, we remember that He conquered death and the grave. Yet, we still worry about lunch. Stop worrying. Seek Him with first priority. Rest in Jesus.

Are you ashamed to witness? It isn’t considered polite to talk about Jesus and the Gospel. In a day when “R” rated language is everywhere, saying “Jesus” is only acceptable as a curse word. It’s “intolerant” to speak of Him otherwise. I wonder, will Jesus be ashamed of you on that Day?
