Jesus Unplugged | Holy Week Preparation

There is always a strange tension this time of year. Holy Week is approaching, and yet nothing else seems to slow down for it. The calendar fills, the mind races, the heart gets pulled in a dozen directions, and right into that noise comes Jesus, not hurried, not scattered, not distracted, but steady. He rises from the table, leaves the upper room, and walks into the night, into betrayal, into suffering, into the cross. And if we are honest, there is a gap we feel between His steady resolve and our restless hearts, which is exactly why this week matters so much. Holy Week is not just something we attend, it is something we enter, so here is a simple invitation: stay with Him. Continue where we left off in our Jesus Unplugged journey and walk the passion story slowly through the Gospel of John: Monday, John 18:1–14, the garden and the arrest; Tuesday, John 18:15–27, Peter’s denial; Wednesday, John 18:28–40, Jesus before Pilate; Thursday, John 19:1–16, the crown of thorns; Friday, John 19:17–30, the cross; Saturday, John 19:31–42, the silence of the tomb; Sunday, John 20:1–18, the empty tomb, your name spoken.
