Sunday's Coming




We had the most amazing Good Friday service at church today. It was unlike any service I have ever been to. It was called Tenebrae which means "darkness". We were there to experience the darkness and suffering of the cross. It was very moving and touched me in a way that only God can! I have heard the Crucifixion Story my whole life, but Friday I experienced it first hand and actually realized my role in the whole story. We examined several scenes from the garden where Jesus prayed, to the arrest, the betrayal, and crucifixion. It was moving beyond words. We took the Lords Supper and then had 3 minutes of silence to represent the 3 days before He rose. When this was over we watched the video that I posted below. I wanted to share it and remember it to share with my children when they are bigger. It really just reveals the reason for our hope. Praise God for that Sunday when My Savior rose from the grave!
