Preparing for the Kingdom

Preparing for the Kingdom

Author: ChristKirk April 13, 2025 Duration: 40:11

Culturally we have a relatively strong liturgy for Christmas but a weak liturgy for Easter. This is an area where recovery and reformation are needed. That reformation must start in the church. One way to begin this is to become very familiar with the story itself. Just as you should read and re-read the Christmas story, read and re-read the account of Christ’s final days on earth. Scripture spends significantly more time on the final week of Christ’s life, leading to his death and resurrection, than on his birth and life as a child. So naturally we should do the same with our time spent reading this story.
