This Week's Recommendations

  1. Eagles, fowl, and a Savior with wingsKevin Burrell’s post makes my heart sing, “And a living, risen savior is still our covering today, to all those who by faith trust in his wings. In fact, we are clothed in his righteousness. He is oh-so willing to gather us under his wings.”

  2. Even to deathJamaal Williams invites us to consider Jesus at the Mount of Olives, “Jesus models what it looks like to stumble into the presence of God—hurting but hopeful.”

  3. The dirtiest one anotherCindy Matson’s post is perfect for Maundy Thursday, “As tempers flared, words shot across the room like darts, easily finding their targets as one man built himself up at another’s expense. But the dispute terminated abruptly when the Son of God picked up the basin of water and began to wash each mouthy disciple’s feet, wiping away the grime, dust, and filth of the day’s activities. He didn’t need to say a word; His actions preached the sermon for Him.”

  4. Divine power and holy restraintPaul David Tripp reminds us, “Though as the Son of God Jesus had the right to defend himself, he did not exercise his power to do so. He exercised divine power and holy restraint for the salvation of those who would believe down through the ages. Jesus chose not to defend himself, no matter the cost to himself, because he knew his Father’s will and his love for the lost.”

  5. These Easter eggs have been decorated by the Sorbian community for thousands of years: Good luck trying to top these eggs!
