April 14,

This is Holy Week for Christians and the Passover for the Jewish faith. For Christians it marks the triumphal entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem on a donkey. It all began well for Christ that week. Yet as the week unfolded praise changed to accusation, denial, betrayal, pain, tears and darkness and the light of resurrection.

This image reminds me of the stages of Christ's last week on earth. The light for the hope that Christ is to all if they so choose to believe, the shadows for betrayal, denial, pain and darkness, the bars for the callous nature of human beings, and the trees for the throngs of onlookers. I am grateful for my faith that fills me with peace and strength.

He takes men out of time and makes them feel eternity. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Peace.
