4-Given Pressure Washing

To all of those who have served, and their families, words cannot express our gratitude. Alexander Hamilton described it best:

“There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.” - Alexander Hamilton

As we take this day to remember those who have sacrificed for our freedoms, thank you! To the families who have sacrificed time with their family members due to their service, thank you!

May we never forget!

A recent wood restoration customer. They had recently purchased their home and the deck had been painted. They asked us to remove the paint and do a clear seal, so the natural beauty of the wood would shine through. Here is a bit of the process. Our pressure for this particular wood was 600 psi, which is considered by the industry to be perfect for this treated pine.

Happy Easter to all of our friends and family. On this Easter let us raise our hands and rejoice in our risen savior. Praise him for his love and grace he has shown us. I know here at 4-Given our name says it all. We are forgiven because of three nails and one cross. We are forgiven because he gave his only son to die upon a cross so that we ALL may live.

Less is written in the Gospels about this day than any other in the scope of this week known as Holy Week. But what makes it so unique is this: it is the only full day in history where the body of the crucified Son of God lay dead and buried in a grave.

Late Thursday night in Gethsemane, Jesus was arrested—betrayed by one of His own disciples and abandoned by His others. The Chief Priests and the Sanhedrin called for secret trials in the dead of night, and the verdict was handed down that Jesus would be crucified (Mark 14:53-65). This was an official order the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate, would have to give. And reluctantly, on Friday morning, he did (Mark 15:1-15).

"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but yours be done." Luke 22:42 This day marks the last meal Jesus had with His disciples prior to His arrest and crucifixion. Jesus first predicts what will happen on the next day. Second, Jesus gives His followers symbols of remembrance for His body and His blood sacrificed on behalf of all mankind. Third, Jesus demonstrates how the greatest are those who serve others (Luke 22:26). 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐲𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐨𝐡.

Next, Jesus goes to the garden of Gethsemane to pray as He waits for His hour to come. The Gospel accounts tell us that He started that Last Supper overwhelmed with sorrow, and that later in Gethsemane His sweat became like drops of blood (John 13:21, Luke 22:44) 𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐉𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐆𝐨𝐝.

It’s here Jesus, having been betrayed by Judas, is arrested. Soon a line of torches snaked their way toward Him through the darkness (Mark 14:42-46). This was what He had been waiting for.

Jesus spends the day in Bethany. Jesus was still. Though Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of Holy Week were filled with harrowing experiences that seemed to be drawing Him ever nearer to His death, on Wednesday Jesus stayed out of the public eye. Mary of Bethany anoints Jesus with costly perfumed oil. Judas objects but Jesus rebukes Him and says Mary has anointed Him for his burial and praises her beautiful act of devotion. 𝘽𝙮 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙃𝙞𝙢 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙫𝙖𝙡𝙪𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣, 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙮 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙚𝙭𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙨𝙝𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙅𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙨 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙃𝙞𝙢𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙝𝙚𝙧. Those conspiring against Jesus were given their opportunity when Judas visited the chief priests and offers to betray Jesus. For this, he was paid 30 pieces of silver. In reading Matthew 26, we see the contrast of what Mary was willing to spend on Jesus, verses what Judas sought to gain by betraying Him.
