Shortly after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, He rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. A large crowd greeted Him with palm branches, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" (John 12:12-19). Reflecting on the events of that first Palm Sunday will prepare our hearts for the greatest event of all. - Palm Sunday Preparations.
The Apostle John encouraged believers to stop and take time to consider God's amazing love (1 John 3:1-2). We can look back and remember God's love for us in salvation or even look forward to our shared future glory when we're together in the presence of His eternal love. However, it's important to realize that God's love is present now. No matter what trials we face, they cannot separate us from His ever present love. - God's Love Is Now!

On the other hand, we're all called to be transformed into the same image from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). How does that work? - Imitation Christianity.

Did you know that we are not the finishers of our faith? The scripture tells us (Philippians 1:6, Hebrews 12:2) that Jesus is the finisher of our faith. He not only began His good work in us, but He will also complete it. - The Finisher of Your Faith.
