This morning we had an awesome contemplative Good Friday Service looking at another two ‘Gifts of the Cross’, the other two crosses that are often depicted on the hill of Calvary and the Cross itself that Jesus was crucified on.
Linger on the hill of Calvary. Rub a finger on the timber and press the NAIL into your hand. Taste the tinge of cheap wine and feel the scrape of a THORN on your brow. Touch the velvet dirt, moist with the blood of God. Allow the tools of TORTURE to tell their story. Listen as they tell you WHAT GOD DID TO WIN YOUR HEART.
Max Lucado – He Chose the Nails
Over the past few weeks Annette has adapted Max Lucado’s book ‘He Chose the Nails’ as we’ve looked at the many images (Gifts) of the Easter scene and explored how they relate to us in this day and age.
This morning we also looked at how the Easter period has been over commercialised by the Easter bunny, chicks, bonnets and chocolate Easter eggs among other things; so much so that many young children today more than likely don’t know the real reason for the season.
