St. Jacobi Tidings ~ April 20, 2014

Devotion – Psalm 118:1-2 19-29                       

For many, even those who live only in the secular world, Easter is usually a herald of spring. The blossoms arrive along with warmer temperatures and the hope that T-shirt and shorts weather would return again! But some years this doesn’t seem like a prospect at all. We have snow, when we should be meeting the Easter Bunny. We are lucky then: the work of God is not weather- dependent. It doesn’t require special attention to one day; instead the work of the cross needs to be celebrated every day. We get the prize of his resurrection even in 24 inches of snow or 105ºF. The prize is a restored relationship between God and his people. We do need to see the painful path to the cross because the moments that we have turned away from God pave this path, sharpen the nails in his hands and feet, and cause the blood to drip from his brow. We might not know much about the workings of heaven, but we know the pain that we caused our Lord. And he loves us in spite of these faults.

Reflection: How will I make this Holy Week holy?

Prayer:  I remember your sacrifice as I strive for your glory. Amen.

The NACCC provides a denominational home for our church, education and pastoral resources and supports worldwide missions. This organization is in transition and needs out support. We request that the given amount would be reimbursed to the church for those who are able.
