This is indeed a solemn week. Each evening I am reading the Gospel of John, correlating to the events that led to each day and Jesus being nailed to the cross, then lifted to suffer, and to die. This reality is never far from my mind, all year. Hubby and I have taken two trips to Israel and walked, quite literally, in His footsteps.
It is easy, all to easy, to imagine the depth of grief His followers, His family were feeling. We, two plus centuries later, have hope arriving Sunday, celebrating His Resurrection!
Come Sunday, we rejoice. We are thankful to have elder son and grandson joining us for Easter Sunday and dinner. May you and yours have a blessed and joyful Easter. Jan
You are so right. Those people who saw our Lord crucified didn't know, as we do, that Sunday would see his resurrection. Gives you a lot to think about. Hope you have a blessed Easter, Jan.
