With a woman a look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

The events of Holy Week recall those critical last days of Christ on earth from his triumphal

entry to his last supper, from his prayer anguish and arrest in the garden to his

trouble for pilot, from his suffering and death on the cross to the joy of resurrection.

While every aspect of Christ's life is worth knowing, the gospel writers made sure of

what we most needed to know.

John wrote that all the books in the world cannot hold the stories of Jesus, but he also spent

nearly half of his gospel on that one week of his life.

Overall, as much as a quarter of the gospels are spent on these events that we remember

during Holy Week.

And one of the things this tells us is that we're in far more trouble than many of us might

admit.

Moral clarification, better social theory, these things aren't enough.

Our plight as humans is so dire, it required.

The arrest, the torture, the death of the perfect son of God to fix.

Our need is great.

Thank God his grace is greater still.
