“The glory of God is the infinite beauty and greatness of his manifold perfections.” John Piper
Scripture speaks often of God’s glory and our bringing glory to God. God’s glory is everything God is and the reason for everything God does— this is worthy of our focus and praise! Join us as we use the next few weeks to focus on the glory of God and our part in bringing glory to our great God!

As we focus on the glory of God this month, you may wish to continue this focus in your personal time. In “Awe: Why it Matters for Everything we Think, Say, & Do’’ Paul David Tripp takes a deeper look at the concept of awe and how we are all made to be in awe of something— ultimately God Himself. He writes “I came to see that I was wired for awe, that awe of something just sits at the bottom of everything I say and do. But I wasn’t just wired for awe. I was wired for awe of God. No other awe satisfies the soul. No other awe can give my heart the peace, rest, and security that it seeks.” This recommended resource is available in the Countryside Resource Center or online through amazon. “Recommended Resources” are considered helpful, but are not sponsored by Countryside or Countryside Women’s Ministry.

“So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. And they went out and preached everywhere…” Mark 16:19-20a
Jesus completed His purpose by ascending to heaven, ALIVE, as king. We are now commissioned to go throughout the world, preaching this good news. Jesus is alive and He reigns!

After hours of men beating and mocking Jesus, He was led to the Calvary. Jesus, fully man and yet fully God, surrendered His life for His glory and His own creation. “The punishment of God ON God…” was now complete. It is Finished! Jesus breathed His last and died for sins.
But Sunday was to come.

“But Jesus said, ‘Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial.’” - Mark 14:6-8
Jesus knew the time of His death was drawing near. That very day, Judas betrayed Jesus to the chief priests and Mary worshipfully anointed her Savior. Jesus would soon surrender His life to the will of the Father.

“And those who went before and those who followed were shouting, ‘Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David! Hosanna in the highest!’" - Mark 11:9-10
Today is commemorated as Palm Sunday, the Sunday before Jesus’ death where people were celebrating the long anticipated Savior of Israel, the conquering King!
And the conquering King He was, but not in the way Israel was anticipating. Jesus came humbly but powerfully. Not to defeat their earthly oppression, but their spiritual separation from Holy God and their indwelling sin and death. The Holy King they later realized they did not want, with the solution they did not sense their need for, would die to bring glory and many hearts to the Father.
