I feel a quiet stirring in my heart. I don\u2019t want to move through this week distracted or unaware. This is the week Jesus walked steadily toward the cross — for me, for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And I find myself wanting to slow my pace, soften my heart, and walk with Him — all the way to Calvary, and then to the joy of the resurrection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holy Week is moving forward — and Tuesday finds Jesus right where we might expect Him — in the Temple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not resting. Not retreating. Teaching.
If Monday was about cleansing the Temple, Tuesday was about filling it with truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus knew His time was short. Every word mattered. Every moment carried weight. And yet, instead of softening His message, He leaned in with clarity, courage, and conviction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The religious leaders questioned Him. Challenged Him. Tried to trap Him. But oh — they underestimated Who they were talking to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 22:46 says: \u201cNo one could say a word in reply, and from that day on no one dared to ask Him any more questions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus spoke truth that stood firm. Through stories — parables about vineyards, banquets, coins, and eternity — He opened eyes and revealed hearts. Some leaned in. Others pushed back. But no one walked away unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And isn\u2019t that still true today? Jesus doesn\u2019t just offer suggestions.
He offers truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And in a world full of noise, opinions, and confusion — truth can feel a little uncomfortable. (Okay\u2026 sometimes a lot uncomfortable)
But truth is also what sets us free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As I think about this day, I\u2019m reminded of something simple yet powerful — even when life feels uncertain — God\u2019s truth never wavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We may be walking through something heavy right now — loss, uncertainty, strained relationships, or just trying to make ends meet. Take heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This same Jesus who stood in the Temple teaching with authority — stands with you today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He sees.
He knows.
He cares.
And the story isn\u2019t over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re still moving toward the cross — and oh, what a painful path that will be. Let’s not forget — we already know the ending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stone rolls away.
Hope rises.
And our Champion wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So today, on this Temple Tuesday — let’s lean into His truth.
Let it steady our hearts. Because when Jesus speaks — it stands!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
