JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.
Yes, I know it’s April (not December) and it’s Easter (not Christmas) that’s coming on Sunday. Even though we normally see this slogan on bumper stickers and church bulletins at Christmastime, I believe it can resonate with many of us as we go through Holy Week. With a few frenzied days consumed by classes, assignments, and exams, followed by some time at home filled with visits to friends and family, it can be easy to forget why we even have this short vacation. “Holy Week” for college students can sometimes become quite a hectic week!
We can and should still do all of these good things, but we also can and should try to give ourselves in a unique way to Jesus. Let’s devote some special time to prayer with Him each day, contemplating and placing ourselves within the drama of the Passion. If we keep our eyes on Jesus and remember that He is the reason for our new life and freedom from sin, we will grow with Him through this Easter season.
