THE WONDERS OF HOLY WEEK

There is no end to the wonderful mysteries and insights of the death, burial,  Descension, and Ascension of Our Redeemer. For instance, it is mind-bending indeed to comprehend how the Son of Man, along with the Father, created the very instrument of His own death; as Scripture states: “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” And in another stunningly ironic twist, the carpenter’s son, was nailed to wood. Yet, in on that darkest of days, the dead wood of a fallen tree became the “tree of life” as the savior was bound to it. He that IS life gave “life to the dead” by dying. He that never sinned BECAME sin so sinners would be righteous. He that had been captured “took captivity captive” and set the prisoner’s free. He that descended to the abyss in turn ascended into heaven”. He that left this earth in human shame will come again in such Heavenly Glory that all the world will see it at once! And He that refused an earthly reign as a king will rule for eternity as “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” over “heaven and earth!” Happy, Happy, Happy Easter to everyone! The LORD is risen…He is risen indeed! HALLELUJAH!
