Walking the Holy Week Walk.
We can't hop in a time machine and zip back to first century Jerusalem. If we could we could walk with Jesus from the triumphant entry to the even more triumphant resurrection. We could see what lengths Christ goes to for us, we could see the look on the disciples faces when Jesus knelt to wash their feet. We could witness the ultimate act of love on the cross.
Since we can't do that, one way we can try to walk in those footsteps is by tracing Jesus' path during Holy Week. This week invites us to eat at the table where Jesus says, "my body given for you", it invites us to consider the nails that held Christ to the wood of the cross and see our own hand on the hammer. Holy Week is a deep immersion in that week. When we allow ourselves to sink down into that story, we find ourselves there with Jesus and we realize more deeply that he did it all for us.
I hope you take time this upcoming Holy Week to attend all the services of Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Morning.
Be a disciple...walk the walk.
