Altar Sunday

Jesus didn't enter this world dressed to impress the highest officials or kings. His appearance did not attract them either. 

Instead Jesus entered this world wrapped in the only cloth Mary could find. Then placed in a manger, better yet placed in a feeding troph for animals, to save sinners like you and me.

Jesus didn't place us here on this earth to impress the highest officials or man. He placed us here for His glory, His honor and to worship and serve Him. 

As we enter the House of The Lord lets remember why we are there. 

Isaiah 53-it's worth the read. 

Wait For It

"As evening approached, Joseph, a rich man from Arimathea who was one of Jesus' followers, went to Pilate and asked for Jesus' body. And Pilate issued an order to release it to him.  Joseph took the body an wrapped it in a long linen cloth. He placed it in his own new tomb, which had been carved out of the rock. Then he rolled a great stone across the entrance as he left. Both Mary Magdalene  and the other Mary were sitting nearby watching. The next day-on the first day of the Passover ceremonies-the leading priests and Pharisees went to see Pilate. They told him, 'Sir, we remember what that deceiver once said while he was still alive: After three days I will be raised from the dead.' So we request that you seal the tomb until the third day. This will prevent his disciples from coming and stealing his body and then telling everyone he came back to life! If that happens, we'll be worse off than we were at first." Pilate replied, "Take guards and secure it the best you can." So they sealed the tomb and posted guards to protect it." Matthew 27:57-66

Now wait for it.....
