We will also give thanks to the Lord for the godly mothers in our fellowship and have the joy of consecrating a number of families unto the Lord.

May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His sufferings!

“As Christ born had a Father in heaven and a mother on earth; so in our new birth we must look on God as our Father in heaven, and on the church as our mother on earth; it was usually said, “Out of the church no salvation,” and to this the apostle alludes, “Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all,” Gal 4:26.

Indeed out of the church, there is no means of salvation, no word to teach, no sacraments to confirm, nothing at all to hold forth Christ to a soul, and without Christ how should there be salvation of souls?

So that we must look on the church as our mother, and on God as our Father.”

Looking Unto Jesus, p. 223. (Paragraph spacing added)

Passion Week

This week–known as Passion Week–represents the final week of our Lord Jesus’ earthly life and ministry. It has been said that all the events captured in the Gospels prior to Passion Week are like long introductions to help the reader focus on the events–the cross and resurrection.

Clearly, Passion Week is the main focus of every gospel. Almost half of Mark’s gospel is given to the final week of Christ’s life!

A careful reading of the biblical accounts and teachings reveal what happened on each day of Christ’s final week.
