Lenten Devotions
From the Cross to the Grave
The events of Jesus’ crucifixion are familiar to many, and we often focus on the entire story of his death and resurrection. But at times, it’s also good to consider various events associated with the crucifixion individually. This Lenten season, WELS Women’s Ministry invites you to join us in an in-depth look at some of the events Matthew records in his gospel. Journey with us from Calvary’s hill to the temple, from the tombs of holy people to Jesus’ own tomb, and all the way to the depths of hell. Travel with us from the cross to the grave as we consider the significance of these events for our lives today.
