It is Holy Tuesday, also known as Fig Tuesday because of Jesus’ condemnation of the fig tree as he went back to Jerusalem from Bethany. It is helpful to remember that life is more than just “leaves”, it’s about the “fruit”. #HolyTuesday #HolyWeek2023

It is Holy Wednesday, or Spy Wednesday, the day Judas makes his clandestine deal of betrayal of Jesus. It also reminds us of Peter’s coming denials. It is a day to consider our loyalties and affections. #luke22 #HolyWednesday #SpyWednesday #HolyWeek2023

Today is Maundy Thursday. Maundy is from Latin and means mandate. It is the day Jesus washed his disciples feet with the command to do the same for others. Imagine a world where this humility was a guiding principle for people. #HolyWeek2023 #MaundayThursday

Today is Good Friday. The day we commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, God incarnate, extending love, forgiveness, & redemption to humanity. Everything you think about God should be filtered through the lens of the cross. #GoodFriday #HolyWeek2023

Today is Holy Saturday. The day between Jesus’ crucifixion & resurrection. It involves the Harrowing of Hell or the Decent to Hades (1 Peter 4:6; Eph 4:9) when salvation was brought to captive souls. The mercy of God is boundless! #HolyWeek2023 #HolySaturday
