I do not want to let this Easter pass with a minimal appreciation for what took place. It’s so easy to get caught up in the cultural moments, the tyranny of what needs to be done. What are you doing to prepare yourself to worship the One who offers hope and direction? Those that were present at the crucifixion watched the crowds get out of hand, yet there were a few who understood what was happening. As we prepare ourselves for worship, may we be humble, asking Gods yo show us Hos kingdom and His righteousness.
“Like a child taking first steps we are learning through success and failure, confident that we have a present Teacher who, through the Holy Spirit, will guide us into all truth. In this way we come to understand what Paul means when he instructs us to “walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit” (Rom. 8:4).” - Richard Foster, Celebration of the Disciplines
“Why is it that some Christians cross land and sea, continents and cultures, as missionaries? What on earth impels them? It is not in order to commend a civilization, an institution or an ideology, but rather a person, Jesus Christ, whom they believe to be unique.” - John Stott
