#HE LIVED WITH US FOR A WEEK WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED FULL#
Yes, he’s Jesus but he also assumed full humanity. How about Jesus on his final week on earth? This Ferrari car, LaFerrari, that goes 0-62 mph in less than 3 seconds and 0-186 mph in 15 seconds sounds good. And I’m gonna go a little faster than the speed limit. And I’m gonna drive it all around for hours and hours. I’m gonna splurge and rent a Ferrari or a Lamborghini or a Bugatti. Okay, every now and then, I’ll look at car magazines but I don’t know much about engines, v-12 liters, 26 inch rims, and 500 horses and whatever.īut, let me be honest: If I had one week to live…I’m gonna do it. Yes, I want to eat here if I had only one week to live. Some may have seen a documentary entitled Jiro Dreams of Sushi precisely about this master chef. Supposedly, you have to make reservations up to a year in advance and pay up front $368 for a fixed menu of 20 pieces of sushi. I’d love to fly to Japan and eat at a sushi restaurant called Sukiyabashi Jiro where it is owned and run by Japanese chef, Jiro Ono – considered by many to be the greatest sushi chef in the world. …so I’ll want to go to Olive Garden. Okay. I’m not sure how I’d be able to go to all of these places so let’s just say anywhere warm, with a beach, and with snorkeling, or para sailing, or sailing, or marlin fishing, or hang gliding, or…Ĭatch couple futbol games in Europe.
Okay…there’s just too many places and such limited time. I’d love to travel to a few places I’ve always wanted to go but have yet to: New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Peru, Morocco, etc. And then a long communion.Īnd everyone’s gonna like it. If I had one week to live…I’d love to give one more sermon and while I currently preach a good solid hour on any given Sunday, I’d preach for a really really really long time and won’t care if I get any dirty looks from parents.
I planted Quest Church in 2001 and still have the privilege of being the senior pastor here. But…a great meal with my family would be high on my priority. And some may assume a very obligatory answer. I want to enjoy some quality time with my wife, children, and parents. I have both a mental list and a list of some stuff I’ve started compiling in my notebook. Here’s at least 5 things I’d like to do if I have a week (or month) to live: Family. …Stuff that we want to do before experience our physical death? Don’t we all have what we call a “bucket list?”
So as I reflect upon the final week of Jesus’ life, it’s only natural for me to ponder what I would do if I knew I only had one week to live. During the final week of Jesus’ life, we see a glimpse of his humanity as he anguished in prayer at Gethsemane.īefore we try to jump to the celebration of His resurrection, we need to take the time to walk with Christ during the last week of his life. Jesus understood hunger, thirst, temptations, anguish, the pain of human betrayal, sadness. And in and through this…Jesus understood the fullness of our human condition. But Jesus wasn’t just fully God, he chose to be fully human. Some may make the mistake of thinking or assuming that since Jesus was fully God, he didn’t experience human anguish. As we engage in Passion Week, it’s important to take some time to reflect on the life of Jesus and in particularly, his final week.
Imagine if you knew that you were going to only live until you were 33 years old and that your death would come in the most horrific manner imaginable.Īs some may know, “Palm Sunday” marks the beginning of Passion Week – the final week of Jesus’ life on earth. Seriously, take a few minutes to imagine the emotional roller coaster. Imagine if you had only one week to live, or one month, or one year.
