At this point in his walk toward the cross, Jesus had entered Jerusalem to prepare for the Passover, and He knew fully that He was the Lamb of God who would be sacrificed to take away the sin of the world. He face was set toward the goal, although he would pray in the Garden of Gethsemane, "Father, if Thou art willing, remove this cup from Me, yet not My will, but Thine be done" (Luke 22:42).

I have several books which I add to my Bible reading during this Holy Week. I recommend them to you.

Six Hours One Friday: Anchoring to the Power of the Cross by Max Lucado
Christ in the Passover: Why is This Night Different by Ceil and Moishe Rosen
In the Footsteps of Jesus by Max Lucado

And I am reading for the first time He Chose the Nails: What God Did to Win Your Heart by Max Lucado.

If you have other suggestions, please list them in them in the comment section, or email them to me for posting. Let's share devotional resources.

Postscript:
Would you please join me in praying for the family and friends of Air Force Staff Sgt. Phillip A. Myers, who was the first dignified transfer to be recorded by the media since the change in policy implemented by President Obama.
