We prepare for times that are significant for us. We buy new clothes or reserve a table at a good restaurant. We remember our first Easter clothes, the first times we attended Good Friday services and Sunday morning resurrection celebrations. Jesus also prepared himself for his death and resurrection by spending time with those closest to him, teaching about the things that mattered to him, and clinging to the Father as his final week crescendoed into horrible pain. We at Soulation want to help you change the way you prepare for Easter's sunrise of hope. Open these pages to find meditations following Jesus' footsteps as he neared the cross. Be ready to watch your heart open and your mind expand as you read winsome apologetics and accessible spiritual formation centered on Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection. This Easter, let's step into the life of Jesus, who bore our sins so we might become whole, free, and more fully human.
