Jesus knew that it was the week! He was on a MISSION OF MERCY! He must continually die to Himself... His needs... His wants... His desires... so that He might rescue others. There was a planet full of people (past, present, and future) depending on Him.

I am so thankful that His focus, His love for the Father, His work ethic, His persistence, and His endurance kept Him, that week, on His MISSION OF MERCY... a mission of healing that would reconcile us to our Heavenly Father. After all, it was God's idea! Brightly beams our Father's mercy! Brightly beams the love of our Savior! GIGATTAATTGIG

NOTE: In 1978, my mother-in-love, Robbie Sikes and family friend, Johnnie Luker, published a booklet entitled THE GOSPEL TRAIN. The idea originated with Johnnie in the 60's. Further years of prayerful study and development by Robbie (transformed mom of 13 children) birthed a graphic organizer to help others in studying the life of Christ and put it to memory. Within this study is the concept of GOSPEL ZIP CODES. Above, in parentheses, you see different strings of numbers. Here are some examples to aid you in the meaning and use of GOSPEL ZIP CODES:

• 25,000 means the story is found in Matthew chapter one, but not in Mark, Luke, or John
  



• 24,13,00 means the story is found in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and not in Luke or John
  



• 24,13,21,0 means the story is found in Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and not in John
  



• 0,11,00 means the story is only found in Mark 11

Join me, the remainder of this week and into Sunday on this blog as we follow the CROSS WALK of Jesus Christ during the week that He was crucified.
