Boy oh boy is God ever talking to us tonight. The day has been overcast and rainy off and on. As I sit here typing, watching tv, petting the dog and drinking diet coke, (Yes...I am ADD) I hear the thunder roll. Isn't it always neat how Good Friday seems so dark and mysterious?
I went to the Maundy Thursday service last night with Jen and Jenny and it was amazing. Forest Hills does such a great job of presenting the message. I sat afterwards for awhile to reflect on what I had just heard and seen. There were parts of the movie called "Passion of Christ" shown on the screen during the service. Candles lit and then extinguished as the story of his betrayal was told. One candle was left for the last supper. The bread is his body and the juice is his blood and it was given for our forgiveness of sins.
Wow...the atmosphere was just right to help you imagine the pain and suffering that He went through. How can we be sad or discouraged when this act of ultimate love was done on our behalf? God, forgive me for being consumed with myself and the daily activities that take me away from you.
The thunder is still rolling...thank you for the reminder...
