Abiding Word Lutheran Church - Orleans, Canada
The season of Lent is a very important one in the Christian church year.
The culmination of this season is "Holy Week." Beginning with Palm Sunday, through Maundy Thursday and Good Friday, right to the glories of Eastor morning we turn our hearts to the passion of Christ; His suffering and death, followed by His resurrection three days later.
On Maundy Thursday, Jesus celebrated His final Passover meal with the disciples. He instituted the Lord's supper and in an act of extraordinary humility, He washed the feet of His disciples, and then commanded them to do the same for each other. "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another." John 13:34
Jesus was betrayed into the hands of the Roman authorities. He was mocked and tortured and then crucified on the cross. On Good Friday He suffered an agonizing death in our place. "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this; while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
Three days later, on that first Easter morning, Jesus, our Lord and Saviour, overcame death and the power of the devil. He rose from the dead. He defeated our greatest enemy and won for us eternal life with Him, in heaven. His amazing sacrifice was one of pure and holy love.
Come and woship with us as we observe Christ's walk to Calvary and His glorious resurrection. Worsip times are below.
