Walking to The Cross

(Ideas to keep as we walk to Easter)

Triumphal Entry (Walking in Victory You are not Defeated)

Deuteronomy 20:4 (ESV) 4 for the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.’

1 Corinthians 15:57 (ESV) 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Cleaning the Temple (Look in your Temple, throw out what is sealing life from you)

1 John 1:9 (ESV) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Teachings ( Learn and teach the Scripture to prepare yourself as one approved)

Last Passover (Make Time For Fellowship)

Acts 2:42 (ESV)42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

betrayal (Know that Stuffing will come, but God has a plan)

James 1:2–4 (ESV) 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

Cross (Be a living sacrifice)

Romans 12:1–2 (ESV) 1 I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

Buried (Die with Christ to sin)

Romans 6:10–11 (ESV) 10 For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. 11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Resurrection ( Live as a new creation, not the same one you use to be.)

2 Corinthians 5:17 (ESV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
