Prayer Before Worship   God, you loved the world so much that you embraced it in all its suffering in your beloved Son Jesus Christ, who sought the way of the cross that He might come to Easter and offer us the way back to you.  Amen.

In Today’s Worship:  It is amazing that of all the honor, fame, and power Jesus deserved, instead He chose to die on the cross to pay for your sins.  He chose the nails…for your sake.  What amazing love!  Today we focus on the “Via Dolorosa” or Road

of Sorrows.  It is the name of the street Jesus walked while carrying His cross to Calvary.

Of course, Jesus had come much farther to get to Calvary–He had left heaven and gone to great lengths in order to give His life as the only payment needed for sin.  Jesus still goes “the extra mile” to welcome you to Himself, to forgive and heal you.  Will you turn to Him?  Or turn away
