HOLY WEEK – FRIDAY: “WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON THE CROSS”
Friday, April 14th, 2017
The final hours of the Lord Jesus Christ, during His brief thirty three (33) years on earth were some of the most horrible any human being could ever face, far less the sinless Son of God! There were six, yes 6, illegal trials conducted against God Himself in the flesh, by sinful men in the ultimate act of false arrest, malfeasance, corruption and more.

HOLY WEEK – THURSDAY: “TWO TRANSFORMATIVE EVENTS”
Friday, April 14th, 2017
On the day which some call “Maundy Thursday”, a series of significant events occurred which brought a new paradigm and way of thinking to those who aspire to be both leaders and servants of the Lord. It was Passover, just as it is now, in 2017 around Good Friday. On the biblical calendar (which is different from the Julian calendar we used in today’s world – the one created by Julius Caesar), Passover is always on 14 Nisan 5777 (not the automaker Nissan, but Nisan – which was April 10th 2017 this year). Jesus had sent Peter and the disciples ahead to prepare the Upper Room for the Passover Seder.
