We’re almost halfway through our designated forty-day journey toward Easter.  How is your preparation coming?  What have you added in your walk with your Savior to assist you in focusing on His sacrificial death for you?  Christ conquered the grave not because He was bored and needed a challenge.  He subjected Himself to this horrifying and very cruel death so that mankind might have a way to life.  That’s powerful!  Without Him we are without Him – meaning helplessly and hopelessly lost.  Something worth focusing on, don’t you think?

If you haven’t begun as of yet, no worries, start now.  Try this: add something to your life that’s just between you and your Lord.  Add something relational, something deeply personal.  For instance, “time.”  Maybe spend more time seeking a deeper love relationship with Jesus.  Quality time can enhance any relationship and there’s none more important than with our Savior.  This can be accomplished through prayer and prayerful listening to what the Spirit is seeking to communicate to you.  Meditate upon the meaning of scriptural passages as you read them and seek to understand their meaning in your present situation.

The point is to make the attempt.  If Jesus was willing to go through all that He did in order to provide a “way” and a “place” for us.  It stands to reason that He desires a meaningful relationship with us.

Teach me your way O Lord!
