Its not easy to fully comprehend the fullness of what these days, now over two thousand years old, commend and celebrate. This potent act, and our commemoration of it will draw people to dawn some of their finest, and head off to church as part of their bi-annual visitation of the momentous sacrifice and the other, His birth.
As I prepare to attend this morning's weekly meeting with my Lord, I find myself rejoicing in the powerful resurrection arising after such an intense and violent act of disrespect and evil...for truly this unique act demonstrates the power of my Lord. Yet I am also faced with another challenge from the same Lord. Those attending today, including myself and all those occasional visitors, what of the fullness of Christ will they see in the service and in me today? Would it not be true, that if they came to understand, as I, the fullness of the depravity within, and the absolute glory, beauty and grace of the one who alone can rescue us, that they not desire to return and re-enter the place where they can be reminded of, and worship the one who has accomplished this for us?
I know for myself, that I will be attending this morning with a new call, asking Jesus how I can enfold, endear, enrobe these people, all of them, with that which I desire consume me; His glory, His majesty, His sacrifice, the power of His redemption for such a poor soul as I.
