A Moment Aside --- 30 March 2021
There’s so
little I could add to this.
Holy Week
is all about grace. The betrayal, the meal, the commissioning, the trial, the
Cross, the burial, and the mystery of the Resurrection are all about grace. We
might be doing ourselves a mis-service by focusing on the details, important as
they are. The real question is “Why?”
Did we
deserve it? Did we pay for it? Did we work for it? Should we spend our time
fretting about the style of bread or the number of nails used or how the
Resurrection was accomplished?
No. Oh, we
could and sometimes it’s worthwhile, don’t get me wrong.
However,
during Holy Week, we’d best let the whole thing wash over us with the solid and
amazing view that all this was done FOR us and with US in mind. You and me and
everyone else. God’s mind is awfully big!
“Grace does not depend on what we have done
for God, but rather what God has done for us.” Free gift… waiting for us to
pick it up. All because God did this out of love.
Thanks be
to God!
