Walking in the Footsteps of Jesus

In just a few weeks, we’re going to take a specific walk with Jesus from Bethany to Jerusalem.

We will move through the Upper Room and Garden stopping by Pilate’s and Herod’s before taking 400-600 steps down the Via Dolorosa (the Way of Suffering that Jesus walked to the cross).

​Regardless of your feelings about CNN, they produced really helpful video that helps us see this walk with our own eyes.

Now, here are three ways to prepare to join Jesus on His walk.

Commit to walking.

• Wherever you are, set aside April 10-17 as days you will walk with Jesus in a special way.
• Thankfully, Jesus’ walk doesn’t stop at the cross… it goes through a borrowed tomb, out into a new garden, through different rooms, and into our hearts and lives, everyday. Check out ways to walk with Jesus from Bethany to the New Garden at oslc.com/easter.

  ​Center your heart.

• Set aside some time to read John 11-20.
• Put yourself into the story as an observer of these events. What do you notice yourself thinking about and feeling as the story unfolds?

Walk with Somebody Else.

• Whether it's through the woods or life, walks are better, together. Nobody walks alone. . . so, who will you invite to walk with, April 10-17?
