Today I stood on holy ground as I began the day in Matthew 26-28. I observed the Lord Jesus Christ as He finished the work His Father had sent Him to do. I am grateful to Mary of Bethany for anointing Him with precious ointment, first His feet and then she poured it on His head. Jesus explained she was preparing His body for burial. I went to the Garden of Gethsemane and watched Him pray so earnestly and fervently as His disciples slept. Then I heard the crowd coming, saw Judas betray Him with a kiss, followed Him through trials and the walk to Calvary carrying His cross. Then, there He was on the Cross from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. shedding His blood for my sins. Death and burial came next. But on Sunday morning, He arose! He lives! My heart was touched and my love for Him was stirred. I remember why we have the prayer seminar ministry as His last words recorded by Matthew is to go, make disciples, and teach them all things (Matthew 28:18-20). Gladly will I go as long as He opens doors and gives me strength to do so. I am ready for the quarterly meeting of JGHM's Board of Directors in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We hope to end the day at home in Lynchburg, Virginia, 500 miles away. Thank You, Lord, for Your grace and mercy. I love You.
