It is a week like no other\u2014a week that changed history and still has the power to change your life today.<\/p>\n<p>The Holy Week is a week of transformation and resurrection. Just as the Lord Jesus overcame death, He wants you to overcome every evil in your life\u2014even those silent battles like depression and suicidal thoughts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em><strong>I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have\u00a0it\u00a0more abundantly.<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em><strong>\u2018I am the good shepherd.

It is a time to honor God, be in His presence, and truly welcome the Lord Jesus into our hearts and homes.<\/p>\n<p>The Lord Jesus went to the cross to bring salvation, deliverance, healing, victory, restoration, and a complete transformation for each of us regardless of our pasts and the many circumstances surrounding us throughout our lives. He gave His life to rescue us from suffering and despair and open the door to a new beginning.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re still suffering today, know that there is a way out. The sacrifice of the Lord Jesus has the power to rescue you and set you free\u2014He did it for you!
