Good Friday

It was a crosswalk to remember today. 25 of us made the trek through town to the noon Good Friday service. What the picture doesn't show is the 25 mph sleet coming straight at our face. The last time I led the crosswalk I had Scriptures printed out for readers, songs to sing, etc. Today we sang a couple songs, but it was more of a plodding through. It was a neat time of reflection though as we walked and worshiped.

Nathan our Uth leader/guitar player/SS teacher put together a little montage from the Passion of the Christ. Check it out.

Proverb of the Day: Proverbs 21:30 There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.

Scripture of the Day: Mark 15:33-39 33 At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" 35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah." 36 One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said. 37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. 38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"

Quote of the Day: And in the article of death, as He saw the last fold of the grand design unrolled, He passed out of the world with the cry on His lips, "It is finished!" He uttered this cry as a soldier might do on the battlefield, who perceives, with the last effort of consciousness, that the struggle in which he has sacrificed his life has been a splendid victory. But the triumph and the reward of His work never come to an end; for still, as the results of what He did unfold themselves age after age, as His words sink deeper into the minds of men, as His influence changes the face of the world, and as heaven fills with those whom He has redeemed, "He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied."
