Holy Week

It's nearly the end of Holy week, and it is always so rewarding to think through the time line of the the last week of Christ's ministry before the Crucifixion. There are so many useful little e-mail helps that you can sign up for during the season, and as a church we decided to have a Communion service on the Thursday evening, when the Christian church remembers the Last Supper Passover meal, and then we also had a time to reflect on Good Friday, and the events, from the trials, to the flogging, to the carrying of the Cross, to the Crucifixion, and the events which happened around it, to the burial of Jesus' body in the tomb.

Now it is Saturday, and it is a day of waiting. Waiting for Resurrection Sunday, and the hope that we have because Jesus rose again. A funny day Saturday. Tomorrow will be a busy day, we have our church service in the morning of course, but then it is off to the Usher Hall in Edinburgh to rehearse for a concert called Resurrection 2017. It is a yearly celebration run by Origin Scotland, and a time when Christians from across the city and the Lothians join together to celebrate the day. There will be some incredible music, and it always feels a little like heaven.

Saturday. They day before the Resurrection. The greatest days of history that we get to remember every year. God bless you this Holy Week.
