Passover

I took a personal day today. Praying that the LORD will bless Mr. Buck, my sub. He is a godly gentleman. And the students don't like him because he is "mean". He is a grandfather/elder who demands their respect.
I slept in, and it is time now to get about the business of the day...some thoughts from my morning devotion, as Art sings his beautiful songs that no one will ever hear...
Jesus - Yahshua - our Passover Lamb - our High Priest that understands our weaknesses - and His cross that shows for all time, once and for all, how serious sin is to Yahweh. He has restored us though the Potters nailed scared hands, He has inscribed us on the palms of His Hands. Someone once asked what they thought was a very deep and philosophical question. Can man (humankind) hurt the Almighty God? Can a child hurt their parent? Does our disobedience hurt our Creator? Just look at the cross. Can we see how deeply and literally our rebellion, our selfishness, our stubbornness and greed, our perversion, our violence against each other hurts our God?
Our LORD is trying to get our attention. It doesn't seem anyone is listening. A few crazies with sandwich boards proclaiming the end is near perhaps. Some Tele-evangelists who are still offering one way tickets to paradise for a faith offering, might be using scare tactics to increase their income. But, as in the days of Noah, life goes on.
And I have chores to do...
Here is one of my favorite, all time pictures. A flash from my past. The most intense experience of my life. So grateful for having had the experience. Have a blessed Holy Week!
