We will resume our discussion about heaven next week, but for now I want to focus on holy week. It’s the season when the followers of Christ are focused on how He suffered and died on the cross and after three days He arose from the grave. As the elements of the sacrament symbolize, this week is not really a jovial time, but rather calls for serious meditation on the price Jesus paid and being grateful for His gift of eternal salvation. It’s bittersweet since it’s never pleasant to imagine a person being brutally tortured (especially when they are innocent), but the fact that Jesus miraculously came back to life, is a demonstration of His infinite power and authority as the King of kings and why we should be filled with humility and joy. He did not just talk about love, He demonstrated His compassion by willingly surrendering His life so that we could live.
