The Son of Man Will Be Delivered Over to the Chief Priests

Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, “We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. — Matthew 20:17-18

During this time of Lent, we remember that Jesus knew about His death beforehand.

He explained it to His disciples.

Then He told them that he would be condemned to death.

He would be handed over to the Gentiles.

They will flog Him, mock Him, and crucify Him,

Treating Him as a common criminal.

So that I can live with Him forever one day.

Here's Kirk's brother with his retirement gifts.

The army decanter and glasses arrived just before dinner.

And the redbreast came earlier today.

Perfect timing!

He Will Be Raised to Life

They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!” — Matthew 20:19-20

The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus not only died for us, He came alive again.

Because of that we also have the assurance of living with Him in heaven one day.

This will be a strange Easter since we will still be sheltering in place.

One of our friends just made a Thanksgiving dinner so they could enjoy the leftovers. 

I made a couple jars of bean soup mix so we can have some for another day.

God is good.
