A WALK TO REMEMBER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A WALK TO REMEMBER

 

 

 

 

Would you take a walk with me

A walk to remember

 

As we begin Holy Week

I want to ask you

Would you take a walk with me

 

I promise you

It is

 

A walk to remember

 

Over there

Is where Jesus took

Peter, James, and John with him

To Gethsemane to pray

 

He told them,

“Keep watch and pray

That you will not fall into temptation”                                      Mark14:32

 

He asked them “to keep watch”

With him

As he was beginning to face

The hour of his death

 

They fell asleep--3 times

 

Their spirit was willing

But their flesh was weak

 

The Son of God

Became mocked-ridiculed-and brutally tortured

ALL ALONE                                                                           John 19:1

 

Let us ask the LORD OUR GOD

To ACCEPT sufferings

As his Son Jesus did

 

A God of humility

A walk to remember

 

The soldiers made him

A crown of thorns

They beat him—spat on him

And mockingly fell to their knees                                      Mark 15:17-19

 

A walk through history

A walk to remember

 

A WALK TO REMEMBER

 

Jesus carried his cross

To “the place of the skull”—Golgotha

Where he was crucified                                                John 19:18

 

Dear Lord—we pray

For the gift of patience

To ACCEPT the sufferings in our life

And ENDURE our trials

As you—in fact did

 

A walk to remember

 

At 3 o’clock

Jesus cried out,

“My God, my God why did you abandon me”                         Mark 15:34

 

With that—JESUS died

 

The curtain of the Temple

Became torn from top to bottom

And a man—a centurion said,

“Surely—this man

Was really the Son of God”                                                        Mark 15:39

 

A walk through time

A walk through history

 

A WALK TO REMEMBER
