Holy Week (52)
  1. The seemingly small, the particular, the previously overlooked, magnifies in importance.
  2. The death and resurrection did indeed really happen. They are accomplished historical facts, and by them, so too is the forgiveness of our sins and justification before God.
  3. The number forty calls to remembrance narratives of God’s great acts of redemption, but also our conformity to and participation in those narratives.
  4. Dear hearers of the word of God, you are finished. You cannot be the same now. All that is ended, over.
  5. Maundy Thursday is your big night. For the Passover Lamb is given for you, given to you.
  6. By mandating the promise, Christ states something stronger than just an invitation.
  7. What is undoubtedly true, however, is that St. Peter wasn’t left outside. He wasn’t left weeping. He was restored, as am I, as are you.
  8. If the season of Lent is a journey, Holy Week is the destination.
  9. A set of Holy Week poems written and published first by Tanner Olson on his website, writtentospeak.com.
  10. The gospel of Jesus’ coming out of death and the tomb alive so that we might be restored to our identity as God’s children establishes the most enduring reality there is.
  11. Christ has come to make every last aspect of your life the object of his eternal, never-ending, always transitive grace.
  12. On Good Friday, poetic justice is satisfied. Poetic mercy is all which remains.
