good friday
I'm trying to stay away from the computer this weekend, but I wanted to leave you all with the following Holy Week devotional:
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth . . .
. . . And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, "Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins . . . "
"My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will."
. . . And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit. And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split. The tombs also were opened . . .
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly . . ."
