Reflection of the week

Posted Mar 23, 2016 in Faith

Even jellybeans can remind us of Easter…

Red – the blood of Jesus

Black – the darkness that descended at the time Jesus died

Blue – the sadness of Easter Saturday, the feeling of the disciples

White – the angels guarding the tomb

Green – the hope of the resurrection

Purple – the royalty of Jesus the King.

Easter is a time to reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus, the love of the Father and our own response.

 

Reflection

Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. – Luke 23:46

“Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen!  Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again’?” – Luke 24:5-7

 

Respond

Why did you die Lord Jesus? Why did you have to die such an inhumane death? Oh... you died for me? For all the muck in my life? For all the stuff I've done wrong, all the stuff I haven't done and should've?

Thank you Jesus for dying for me, for giving your life that I might live, forgiven and free. Thank you!

Amen.

 

Action

I choose to follow you today and each day of my life. I choose to live remembering your death for me, and the hope of your resurrection.

Help me to be a witness to you in all I say and do.

I give you praise, for you deserve it!
