Easter is about 9 days away.  We have so much to be thankful for.  It is a time of celebration, yet it was a time of crying and so much pain.

Can you imagine knowing what the cross was all about?  It was for criminals and not Christ.  It was punishment for a life of wrong doing and hurting others.  So, how could they justifying putting Jesus on the cross.

The first mention of the cross from Jesus might have seemed a little strange.

Matthew 16:24  NLT  

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.

How do you take up your cross?  The people around Jesus might have been a little puzzled as to what Jesus meant by taking up their cross.  He never wasted His words.  But what was this about?

John 19:17-18  NLT  

Carrying the cross by himself, he went to the place called Place of the Skull (in Hebrew, Golgotha). 18 There they nailed him to the cross. Two others were crucified with him, one on either side, with Jesus between them.

Then they saw Him.  They saw Jesus carry His own cross.  It was a horrible road, and it was a difficult thing to watch.

Move to the end of where He carried the cross and Jesus was nailed to it.  Can you imagine looking at the cross before when He was carrying it, and then looking at the cross when He was hanging on it?  That had to be confusing.

But there was a ready.  May we see the cross for how God uses it in our lives.  It is a place of guilt, shame and punishment.  But Jesus deserved none of that.

He deserved none of that until my sin was placed on Him.  That is until your sin was placed on Him.  May we see the cross as those that were present when it happened did.

Galatians 3:13  NLT  

But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

1 Peter 2:24  NLT  

He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed.

That is what Jesus did for us.  In the coming week may we really examine what Jesus did for us.  May we see the place of death as a place that brings us and others life.  May we not make it small and insignificant but mighty and a mark of who Jesus really is.

Easter is ahead.  Let’s get ready!

What we know

Israel said its troops had reached Gaza's coastline and split the enclave in two between "north Gaza" and "south Gaza" in its ground operation against Hamas. That development is likely to fuel new questions about the fate of the Palestinians now massing in the southern half of the Strip, which continues to suffer intense bombardment and a shortage of key supplies.

Israel has rebuffed mounting calls for a cease-fire, saying any deal would require the release of all hostages held by Hamas. The U.S. is pushing for a humanitarian pause in fighting amid growing anger at the civilian suffering.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken was in Turkey after surprise visits to the occupied West Bank and Iraq, while the CIA chief is in Israel as Washington seeks to prevent a broader Middle East war.

More than 1.5 million people have been displaced in Gaza, and health officials there say more than 10,000 have been killed. Israel says 1,400 people were killed in the Hamas attack, and 240 are still held hostage.

NBC News’ Richard Engel, Raf Sanchez, Erin McLaughlin, Josh Lederman, Matt Bradley, Hala Gorani, Jay Gray and Chantal Da Silva are reporting from the region.

U.S. targets in Iraq and Syria were attacked at least 10 times since Thursday

Courtney Kube

Bases in Iraq and Syria with U.S. personnel have been attacked at least 10 times since Thursday, bringing the total number of attempted attacks on U.S. targets in the region since Oct. 17 to 38, according to three U.S. defense officials.

The officials say most of the attacks have come via one-way drones and rockets, and there have not been any new U.S. casualties or damage to infrastructure.

Most of the newest attacks occurred yesterday and today, according to U.S. officials.

At least 19 of the 38 attacks against U.S. targets have come since the U.S. launched retaliatory strikes on two Iranian-linked targets in Syria on Oct. 26.

Before they retaliated, U.S. and coalition forces had been attacked repeatedly in Iraq and Syria, according to defense officials.

The U.S. defines attacks as attempted strikes on U.S. facilities. Not all attempts actually reach the U.S. targets. 

Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Defense Department press secretary, said on Oct. 24 that the groups conducting the attacks are supported by Iran and its Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“We always reserve the right to defend ourselves, and we will never hesitate to take action when needed to protect our forces and our interests overseas,” he said.
