[I thought this could be appropriate for today.]
Happy Easter!

2 Corinthians 5:21
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

--------------------
This Friday afternoon the Church remembers, as on each Friday, the miracle of God's suffering for our sins. It is here, on the Cross, that the drama of Christ's life reaches a pitch so high it is beyond the range of human hearing. That is why there are so few words spoken in this scene in the gospels. Jesus himself only speaks seven times. But the Evangelists too do not dress up their story with preachments. They simply point us to the Mystery of the sinless God who became sin for us and then bid us to enter in, that we sinners might become his righteousness.

How does it all work? No one knows to this day. It is a miracle beyond words, but it is a miracle millions have participated in by being baptized into his death and raised to life with his resurrection. Today, thank God the Son for the gift of his death and life for you.

Just a Word of Encouragement

Thanks for having the guts to post this here. I missed choir practice Wednesday and Maundy Thursday service last night because of a cold. This post provided a much needed boost.

Here is another one, from the same source:

Matthew 27:46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabach-thani?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"


--------------------
"There were solitudes beyond where none shall follow. There were secrets in the inmost and invisible part of that drama that have no symbol in speech; or in any severance of a man from men. Nor is it easy for any words less stark and single-minded than those of the naked narrative even to hint at the horror of
exaltation that lifted itself above the hill. Endless expositions have not come to the end of it, or even to the beginning. And if there be any sound that can produce a silence, we may surely be silent about the end and the extremity; when a cry was driven out of that darkness in words dreadfully distinct and
dreadfully unintelligible, which man shall never understand in all the eternity they have purchased for him; and for one annihilating instant an abyss that is not for our thoughts had opened even in the unity of the absolute; and God had been forsaken of God." -- G. K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
