Holy Week Reminders from Pastor Joel
This entry was posted on 4/3/2007 1:41 PM and is filed under Mid-Week Reminders.
'On the third day He rose
again, in accordance with the Scriptures.' Nicene
Creed
How understated the single
greatest truth of our Christian faith is in the Creeds! As our advertising
/ entertainment / Hollywood / spectacle-loving industries bombard us with hype
and exaggeration, Christians state the most profound event in the history
of the cosmos simply and elegantly, with deep faith and genuine
joy.
As we move together through
the emotional swings of this week with Jesus on his journey to death and
resurrection, I pray that the Spirit would fill your hearts with the fullness of
God's love. As I preached on Palm Sunday / Passion Sunday, "He must
increase, I must decrease", in the great words of John the Baptist. (St
John 3.30)
