God's Great Turnarounds
This week marks the commemoration of the final week of the earthly life and mission of Jesus Christ. It is known as Holy Week or the Passion Week. It’s a week filled with all kinds of turnaround events that lead to the full revealing of who Jesus Christ is and the accomplishment of God’s great plan of salvation for all mankind.
Palm Sunday was the first major turnaround event. After three and a half years of concealing His identity to most and revealing it to only a few, Jesus openly declares his identity to all and allows the crowds of people to welcome Him into the city of Jerusalem hailing Him with shouts of praise as their messiah and king. So many people today are confused about who Jesus is. So, let’s pray that the Holy Spirit will work mightily to reveal Christ’s TRUE IDENTITY to the world, that they might turnaround to believe in Him. (Matthew 16:13-16)
Good Friday marks the second turnaround event. It is the culmination of God’s great plan of salvation for mankind and Satan does everything in his power to thwart Jesus from completing his purpose. However, He stayed focused on HIS MISSION – to give His life a ransom for many. Through His death on the cross He accomplished the great turnaround event of the saving of our souls. Let’s pray that many souls will be saved through this season. (Mark 10:45, Luke 19:10)
Resurrection Sunday marks the third and final turnaround event. Through the power of Christ’s resurrection Jesus Christ offers HIS MESSAGE of abundant and eternal life to all who believe in Him and receive Him as their Saviour and Lord (Acts 4:12; John 20:31). Let’s pray that people will acknowledge and received the life there is in Jesus!
Scriptures
Matthew 16:13-16 (NKJV)
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?” 14 So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Mark 10:45 (NKJV)
45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.
Acts 4:12 (NKJV)
Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
