This week is the week we celebrate the arrival of Jesus to Jerusalem. He came humble and riding on a donkey. The people rejoiced saying, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!”

Imagine if Jesus were to arrive in your home today. Would He receive the welcome due a King?

In most marriages spiritual intimacy, that is the practice of opening up our souls together before Jesus, is often lacking. It has been true in our marriage longer than we would like to admit, but talking about it sheds light on this often-neglected discipline.

Discipline is such a harsh word; I like pursuit of godliness more.

When a husband and wife come together to worship the Lord in their own living room, their marriage is glorifying Jesus. He isn’t absent, but meets with them both right there in this holy place.

This morning after reading the Bible separately, Tom played a few favorite worship songs. We worshiped the Lord as one because as the Bible tells us—we are one flesh.

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great: but I speak in regard of Christ and of the church. Ephesians 5:31-32

It was spontaneous and left us both filled with His presence and encouraged for the day ahead.

If Jesus were to arrive in your home today, would you pause what you are doing and let Him in? He has the words of life—your life—that apply to what you are both facing today. And the best news is that He is always with us because of the Cross.

This is how we make Holy Week personal.

Welcome to you all! We don’t take it lightly that you read what we have to share. Our prayer is that it points you to the only One who has the words of life for your marriage.

May this week lead you both to deeper intimacy together with our Savior.

Blessings,

Tom and Debi ❤️❤️
