A Journey Through A Holy Weekend with Pastor Gale Alvarez

by Gale Alvarez on April 17, 2022

Redemption Sunday and the stone has been rolled away. Jesus is no longer dead but lives having paid the price with His life to redeem my life from destruction. He made the way for me to have a relationship with the Father and to live free and found. He got up and because He did we can. We can take up our bed and walk! We can get up from depression, brokenness, lonliness, betrayal and everything else life and the enemy throws at us. There is nothing that can keep us down but ourselves and an unwillingness to get back up and live in sufficient grace. Today my heart sings, He lives He lives Christ Jesus lives today.. He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives! He got up

Saturday…. the day before everything changed. Saturday the middle day of the weekend where He hung in the balance. Saturday where He had me on His mind and decided I was worth it. Saturday…. where everything went quiet and they thought all was lost. So many thoughts on this Saturday and truly overwhelmed by His love that changed my life forever. The blood that Jesus shed is as fresh and warm today as it was the day it was shed and it shall never lose its power. Jesus I will never forget what You’ve done for me. You thought I was worth saving so You came and changed my life - You thought I was worth keeping so You cleaned me up inside - You thought I was to die for so You sacrificed your life - So I could be free - So I could be whole - So I could tell everyone I know

Good Friday and all of my thoughts are towards Him. He suffered greatly and in ways I can only imagine. It is hard to embrace Him sweating drops of blood and yet He did and He did it all for me. I think about His hunger and His thirst and yet He kept going. As I meditate on His words and the things He said on the cross I realize the call and the challenge to go deeper still. In His words it is finished I hear He got up and I ask myself Gale will you get up and continue on till death….. Jesus I will never forget what You’ve done for me
