Dear Loved of God,
Rather than write a blog post as I normally do at this most sacred time on our Christian calendar, I felt that perhaps God was leading me to simply speak Scripture pertaining to the arrest, suffering, crucifixion and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. My prayer is that God would use His own Word to stir your heart with remembrance toward the most pivotal weekend in all of human history. My hope is that you can grab 20 minutes over this Easter weekend to watch and listen in order to meditate on a Scripture narrative as powerful today as it was the day God inspired the pens of men.
I am deeply grateful to Stephen Proctor, one of my all-time favorite fellow-conspirators, for weaving in fitting but unobtrusive images and for Tony Anderson for providing music of his own composition.
Because of Jesus,
Beth
Thank you so much<3

II Corinthians 5:20

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom.
Absolutely Beautiful, Thank you Mama Beth. What a gift the Lord gave you to share with us. Love, Cindy (Salisbury UK)
Thank you so much, Beth, for this moving account from Scripture. Saved it for today. Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
Thank you, Beth.
Thank you! I just watched this together with my family, and we were blessed.
If I go up to the heavens, You are there. If I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

Powerful and Beautiful!!!
Thank you!
Sweet Beth, Thank you so much for this recording and all who put it together. I really appreciate it. This weekend was spent doing all kinds of activities w/the littles (including entertaining during church on that pew :)) and even though my mind was on our Risen Lord, it was nice to listen to this earlier this morning. Also, the combination of the scriptures w/music and art was powerful. What a way to start my Monday!
Thanks again!
And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own eye.
Matt 7:33

2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)
For we live by faith, not by sight.
I miss the Siesta Summer Bible Study! Please choose and do one with us this summer! That format was so perfect for the on-the-go pace of summer. It made it easy to study and connect with others without having to “be” anywhere on a certain day/time. I loved being able to take my Bible Study group with me wherever I roamed and watching your video thoughts. Please let me know if you will be doing one or if there is a different format you are now using for summer study. Thank you!
Hi Kim, there will be a summer Bible study this summer! LifeWay Women will be hosting it over on their blog (http://blog.lifeway.com/womenallaccess/). We will announce more information on the study in May, so stay tuned.

Romans 8:3-4 ESV
“For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (LBLA)
8 Porque por gracia habéis sido salvados por medio de la fe, y esto no de vosotros, sino que es don de Dios;
9 no por obras, para que nadie se glorĂe.
Amen! This just took my breath away. There isn’t anything more powerful than God’s Word. Thank you.
