Easter Sunday
Preparing for Holy Week and sharing my thoughts here on the blog, I thought it would be Good Friday that I would struggle with. After all, that is the dark day when our Saviour died in the most painful way possible. Surely that should be the hard one to write about...
Good Friday
Good Friday has come around again. Purposely wearing black to church, as I walk in to the service I’m aware that it is equal parts memorial and celebration. Today, almost 2,000 years ago, my Saviour died. He died so that I wouldn’t go to hell. He died so that I would not spend eternity cut off from my Father and King. He died rather than see me die.
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday is a brilliant example of why knowing scripture is so important. Like, SO SO SO SO important! Let’s start with this piece of liturgy and work out from there. Yep, I know I just said scripture (a..k.a the Bible) was the most important but trust me on this. You see, originally all liturgy was based on the Bible and designed to help normal people to learn from God’s word. All of that makes it a pretty good starting place.
