On Sundays, we pause to anticipate the coming of Easter Sunday and the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"We are going up to Jerusalem," [Jesus] said, "and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles, who will mock Him and spit on Him, flog Him and kill Him. Three days later He will rise" - Mark 10:33-34 (NIV)
