Holy Week
Yesterday, Palm Sunday, started Holy Week, the week leading up to Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
This week I am musing my mortality and what we Christians believe God did for us through His son, Jesus.
I think about the amazing events almost two thousand years ago when God willingly let us kill him in a particularly brutal fashion and what it might mean.
To me, it means that whatever life throws at us, we still need to hold true to what we know is right...and it will be ok. Even if we are killed for those beliefs, God will not abandon us.
I also think that part of the message is that if we are not careful and simply follow the crowd of our popular culture, we can forget our own humanity and go from cheers (Palm Sunday) to murder (Good Friday) in a horrifyingly short time.
And finally, the truth, the Gospel, that death is not the end.

The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." – C.
