Church Seasons (1081)
  1. The sacrifice of Jesus stands completed, once for all, and we believe in the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.
  2. On Good Friday, poetic justice is satisfied. Poetic mercy is all which remains.
  3. On this Maundy Thursday, in particular, let the “for you” of Christ’s gifts dominate.
  4. Simon carried the cross, but Jesus was carried by the cross to death.
  5. Out there the instincts to protect yourself from embarrassment, ridicule, and rejection can easily overcome you as they did Peter. Our only hope is in Peter’s Lord.
  6. Betrayed. It is a word which chills the soul and sickens the stomach. To be betrayed is to have a friend turn on you, treating you as an enemy.
  7. Great things are contained in these seemingly unimportant words: "Behold, your king." Such boundless gifts are brought by this poor and despised king.
  8. It is good to remember that this true story, is also beautiful.
  9. The Lord sees the blood of the Lamb upon us, but does not merely pass over us in mercy. He passes into us by grace.
  10. Passion Week preaching is not simply preaching about the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion but to announce to the world how through this single death, sins are answered for, and God is reconciled with humanity.
  11. The LORD vindicates His people in the midst of their misery and despair—for this He has come.
  12. The image on Palm Sunday is about something so primordial, so powerful and ancient, so deep, that it would shatter any kind of limits. It would break through any attempt to restrain it.
