Holy Week Meditations ...

As I meditate on the events of this Holy Week, my heart is very humbled as I try to contemplate even a fraction of what it cost Jesus to purchase my salvation on Calvary! 

The words of a beautiful old song entitled, "I Walked Today Where Jesus Walked" have seemed to fix themselves in my mind this week, and have thrilled me, blessed me and inspired me as I continue to walk with this Stranger of Galilee.  I trust they will stir your heart also as we continue our journey to the Cross and beyond!

     "I walked today where Jesus walked, in days of long ago;
      I wandered down each path He knew, with reverent step and slow.
      Those little lanes, they have not changed -- a sweet peace fills the air.
      I walked today where Jesus walked, and felt His presence there.

      My pathway led through Bethlehem,
      Ah!  memories ever sweet;
      The little hills of Galilee, that knew those childish feet;
      The Mount of Olives, hallowed scenes that Jesus knew before;
      I saw the mighty Jordan roll as in the days of yore.

      I knelt today where Jesus knelt -- where all alone He prayed;
      The Garden of Gethsemane -- my heart felt unafraid!
      I picked my heavy burden up -- and with Him by my side,
      I climbed the Hill of Calvary -- I climbed the Hill of Calvary --
      I climbed the Hill of Calvary -- where on the Cross He died!

      I walked today where Jesus walked, and felt Him close to me!"
